Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.
Before you start
Record shifts and breaks when they occur and retain the employer's original report before corrections.
Who is this guide for?
Employees tracking attendance or investigating hours-related pay gaps.
Documentation is not a wage calculator; recorded time alone does not establish a particular premium. Breaks and on-call time depend on law and arrangements.
The checklist
Record each shift
Private diary or local spreadsheet.
Exclude customer information and business secrets.
Document exceptions promptly
Error evidence; original correspondence and approval.
Label later corrections rather than silently changing records.
Compare the employer's report
Attendance report; payslip.
Labour Ministry wage complaints request attendance evidence.
Request specific corrections
Discrepancy list; supporting records.
Keep the previous version.
Prepare unresolved evidence
Both report versions; employer reply.
Do not automatically count every hour beyond eight as overtime.

Frequently asked questions
Is a screenshot of monthly total hours enough?
Keep daily detail explaining differences; a total makes missing shifts, breaks and corrections hard to identify.
Reports help us check and update guides.
