EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES [Text Block]
NOTE 13:-
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
 
Employee benefits consist of short-term benefits and post-employment benefits.
 
Post-employment benefits:
 
According to the labor laws and Severance Pay Law in Israel, the Group is required to pay compensation to an employee upon dismissal or retirement or to make current contributions in defined contribution plans pursuant to Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law, as specified below. The Group’s liability is accounted for as a post-employment benefit only for employees not under Section 14. The computation of the Group’s employee benefit liability is made in accordance with a valid employment contract or a collective employees agreement based on the employee's salary and employment term which establish the entitlement to receive the compensation.
 
The post-employment employee benefits are normally financed by contributions classified as defined benefit plans, as detailed below:
 
 
a.
Defined benefit plans:
 
The Group accounts for the payment of compensation, that is not covered by contributions in defined contribution plans, as above, as a defined benefit plan for which an employee benefit liability is recognized and for which the Group deposits amounts in a long-term employee benefit fund and in qualifying insurance policies.
