Amit said in response, \u201cThis reminds me of the definition of theft, which includes a theft that isn\u2019t permanent. It\u2019s still theft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-font-size=\"14\" data-font-size-type=\"px\" data-line-height=\"18.2px\">Shai Barman, director-general of the restaurants\u2019 association, said that \u201cnot only is the law not achieving its aims, to hasten the exit of asylum seekers, but we are seeing that the pace of the asylum seekers\u2019 exits from the country have declined by 20 percent since the law went on the books.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-font-size=\"14\" data-font-size-type=\"px\" data-line-height=\"18.2px\">Barman said, \u201cThe law has forced us, the employers, to be criminals because of technical and bureaucratic difficulties in carrying out the deposits procedure. The law\u2019s requirement that we, the employers, seize a fifth of employees\u2019 wages each month is unprecedented and doesn\u2019t pass the test of reality. The law should be rescinded immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-font-size=\"14\" data-font-size-type=\"px\" data-line-height=\"18.2px\">A report by Kav LaOved two days earlier said the deposits law has meant that about half of asylum seekers are earning less than the minimum wage. \u201cThe state cannot enforce the law, which has led to many employers gleaning the 20 percent of wages without depositing them and thereby robbing many works of their wages,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-font-size=\"14\" data-font-size-type=\"px\" data-line-height=\"18.2px\">The study examined pay slips and deposits for 2,573 employees and found that in 15 percent of the cases, employers deducted money from wages but kept it for themselves and didn\u2019t make any deposit on the employee\u2019s behalf. In 30 percent of cases, only some of the money was deposited. The Population and Immigration Registry checked 42 cases from this period, between May 2017 and November 2018<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-font-size=\"14\" data-font-size-type=\"px\" data-line-height=\"18.2px\">Figures published by Assaf in July illustrate the blow that the law has dealt to asylum seekers. Last year there was a 35 percent rise in reports by asylum seekers of having economic difficulties and a 33 percent rise in requests for food aid packages. Families said their children went to school hungry, they had stopped paying health insurance for their children, and their employment conditions had worsened.
