National insurance contributions are mandatory


Employers are responsible for paying social insurance contributions for their workers, according to their income:
  1. Employers must pay national insurance contributions (for certain insurance branches) for their employees.
  2. Employers must deduct national and health insurance contributions from their employees' salaries.
If you are an Israeli resident and are an employee of a foreign employer who does not pay national insurance contributions for you, you must pay your own national insurance contributions.
