You become entitled after a full year of work with the same employer.
The recuperation days for your seniority and the day value for the recuperation year are set by extension order — check them on the Ministry of Labor site (gov.il, «recuperation pay»).
Part-time: by job percentage; the calculator works out an incomplete year as months ÷ 12 — check the rule on the site.
If the day value was raised after you were paid, you are owed the difference for each day.
