SAP—SAP Israel signed new three-year collective agreement with enhanced severance and job security after months-long labor dispute
Following the Ministry of Labour's ruling against SAP's attempted cancellation of collective agreements and the Histadrut's OECD complaint, SAP Israel and the Histadrut signed a new three-year collective agreement covering about 800 employees. The agreement includes severance packages of up to 33 monthly salaries plus age- and family-based grants, a three-month notice period, fully employer-funded health and dental coverage, formalized two-day-per-week remote work, a 4.5% expansion of employee welfare budgets, and job security provisions prioritizing voluntary retirement over layoffs in future efficiency programs.
