i showed the contract to a lawyer friend. she says the section about the 34% is the accepted section that is added to a contract with a "sapak chitzoni" who does not have worker - employer relationship (? - yachasy oved ma'avid). as far as i understand, it is just for this contract - this year. it means nothing for past years or for future years. fyi sara g -- sara g in israel sarag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx saragabai@xxxxxxxxx Visit us at The E Zone http://clickit3.ort.org.il/ganyavneenglish ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
