HR & Recruitment in Israel

When expanding to Israel youll need to make a few decisions in terms of staffing: decide if you can and want to relocate existing employees, and the processes required to employ foreign nationals (indigenous to your country of expansion).

Employing Foreign Nationals

The fundamental thing to comprehend when it comes to employing indigenous workers is the law. Depending on your location, the employment of staff can be affected by many extraneous factors, such as longevity of service, social charges, collective agreements, qualification and experience, etc.

In some countries, employing a certain amount of indigenous workers is mandatory. In Israel, non-resident foreign nationals must have valid work permits from Israels Ministry of Labour. Business visitors granted Approved Specialist status by the Israeli Investment Centre enjoy tax benefits over workers with work permits. Foreign workers in Israel are accountable to ordinary income tax after 183 days.

International Employees

Yet again, plucking talent from neighbouring countries may not come without its woes. Make sure you know the legislative restrictions and allowances of such a practice. All foreign workers require a work permit from the Ministry of Labour before they can work in Israel

Employee Relocation

Perhaps you need someone with talent, experience and reliability. Someone you can trust. Someone with the right understanding of your business to join you overseas. And why not. But you must consider both the cost-effectiveness of such a move, and the laws that preside over it.
