The State Comptroller's report released Tuesday disclosed serious issues regarding the Kashrut supervision of local rabbinates in Israel.
The report noted that 95% of Kashrut supervisors are employed by the very establishments they are supervising, leading to an obvious conflict of interests and also harming their personal benefits. Many establishments did not pay tax benefits, pension benefits and vacation benefits to their employees as required by law. Others were paid without receiving a salary slip as required by law.
The report also noted possible fictitious hours of work being recorded by supervisors as well as the employment of unqualified supervisors.
