Foreign Caregiver Payroll and Employment (Israel)

Problem

Israeli families who bring a foreign caregiver home for an aging or disabled relative are suddenly an employer, with a stack of obligations almost nobody explains in one place: a permit, a licensed bureau, minimum wage, National Insurance, pension and severance, recuperation pay, vacation, and holidays the worker may take by their own religion. The numbers are scattered across the Population Authority, Bituach Leumi, and labor law, and a single wrong assumption (for example, that the home employer pays into the foreign-worker deposit fund, which is false) can cost thousands or trigger a claim. This skill lays out the legal process and turns the rules into one honest monthly-cost figure.

Instructions

Work through whichever parts the user needs. Most users want either "how do I do this legally" (Steps 1-2) or "what will it actually cost" (Steps 3-5). You do not have to run them in order.
