Employees will receive salary increases.
The Ministry of Finance reached an agreement with Tax Authority employees, ending a two day strike.
Under the agreement, the Tax Authority will increase its budget to pay for millions of shekels in salary increases for the workers.
The employees went on strike because they claimed they were not being remunerated for the additional tasks they were given under new tax reform regulations. Employees refused to cooperate with police in the battle against organized crime, claiming they would be in danger.
