From expanded protections for military reservists and their families to evolving standards of employer responsibility, Israeli employment law continues to adapt to new legal and workplace realities.
In the 2026 edition of Lexology In-Depth: Employment Law, Herzog’s Labour & Employment team examines key developments shaping employment law in Israel.
Among the developments covered are the extension of employment protections for reservists and their spouses, alongside new arrangements addressing employers’ financial obligations during reserve service.
The chapter also highlights two significant Labour Court rulings: one addressing employers’ potential liability for sexual harassment committed by third parties, and another reinforcing the obligation to explore reasonable accommodations before dismissing employees with disabilities.
Beyond these recent developments, the guide provides an overview of the Israeli employment law framework, covering employment relationships, termination procedures, restrictive covenants, employee representation and workplace privacy.
