The daily recovery allowance in the private sector will rise from NIS 418 to NIS 451.5, adding hundreds of shekels to workers' summer pay. The agreement has been forwarded to the labor minister for a national extension order, making it binding across the economy.
The agreement, announced Monday afternoon, follows the framework deal signed earlier in the day (14:44) by Histadrut chairman Arnon Bar-David and Business Sector Presidency chairman Dubi Amitai, as The Zioneer reported. That earlier deal set the rate raise but required the minister's signature to apply universally. The current update confirms the new daily rate of NIS 451.5 and the forwarding to the labor minister for a extension order.
Under Israeli labor law, a sector-wide collective agreement must be extended by ministerial order to bind employers who were not direct signatories. The new rate, up from NIS 418, translates to an increase of roughly 8% per recovery day. Workers in the public sector, covered by a separate track, already received an update to NIS 511.6 per day.
The additional payment will appear in the upcoming summer payroll, adding several hundred shekels per eligible employee depending on accumulated recovery days. The minister's signature is expected in the coming days.
