GENERAL APPROVAL REGARDING
PAYMENTS BY EMPLOYERS
TO A PENSION FUND AND
INSURANCE FUND IN LIEU OF SEVERANCE PAY
UNDER THE SEVERANCE PAY LAW,
5723-1963
By virtue
of my power under Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 5723-1963 (hereinafter:
the “Law”), I certify that payments
made by an employer commencing from the date of the publication of this approval
for the sake of his employee to a comprehensive pension provident fund that is
not an insurance fund within the meaning set forth in the Income Tax Regulations
(Rules for the Approval and Conduct of Provident Funds), 5724-1964 (hereinafter:
the “Pension Fund”) or to managers’
insurance which includes the possibility to receive annuity payments under an
insurance fund as aforesaid, (hereinafter: the “Insurance Fund”), including payments made by
the employer by a combination of payments to a Pension Fund and an Insurance
Fund (hereinafter: “Employer’s
Payments”), shall be made in lieu of severance pay due to said employee
with respect to the salary from which said payments were made and for the period
they were paid (hereinafter: the “Exempt
Salary”), provided that all the following conditions are
fulfilled:
(1)
|
The
Employer’s Payments –
|
(a)
|
to
the Pension Fund are not less than 14 1/3% of the Exempt Salary or 12% of
the Exempt Salary if the employer pays, for the sake of his employee, in
addition thereto, payments to supplement severance pay to a severance pay
provident fund or to an Insurance Fund in the employee’s name, in the
amount of 2 1/3 % of the Exempt Salary. In the event that the employer has
not paid the above mentioned 2 1/3% in addition to said 12%, his payments
shall come in lieu of only 72% of the employee’s severance
pay;
|
(b)
|
to
the Insurance Fund are not less than one of the
following:
|
(i)
|
13
1/3% of the Exempt Salary, provided that, in addition thereto, the
employer pays, for the sake of his employee, payments to secure monthly
income in the event of disability, in a plan approved by the Commissioner
of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Department of the Ministry of
Finance, in an amount equivalent to the lower of either an amount required
to secure at least 75% of the Exempt Salary or in an amount of 2 1/2% of
the Exempt Salary (hereinafter: “Disability Insurance
Payment”);
|
(ii)
|
11%
of the Exempt Salary, if the employer paid, in addition, the Disability
Insurance Parent; and in such case, the Employer’s Payments shall come in
lieu of only 72% of the employee’s severance pay. In the event that the
employer has made payments in the employee’s name, in addition to the
foregoing payments, to a severance pay provident fund or to an Insurance
Fund in the employee’s name, to supplement severance pay in an amount of 2
1/3% of the Exempt Salary, the Employer’s Payments shall come in lieu of
100% of the employee’s severance
pay.

(b)
|
an
advance waiver by the employer of any right which he may have to a refund
of monies from his payments, except in cases in which the employee’s right
to severance pay was denied by a final judgment pursuant to Section 17 of
the Law, and in such a case or in cases in which the employee withdrew
monies from the Pension Fund or Insurance Fund, other than by reason of an
entitling event; for these purposes an “Entitling Event” means death,
