Labor News:
Here are the latest English labor news and/or information in Japan.
2024.11,12: The Labour Standards Legislative Research Council presents a discussion draft, including the proposal that ‘consecutive working days of two weeks or more should be prevented’ (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare)
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has published the materials for the ‘14th Labour Standards Legislative Research Council’ held on 12 November 2024.
At the Labour Standards Legislative Study Group, research and discussion is being carried out on the organisation of legal issues related to future labour standards legislation and on reviewing the Labour Standards Act in light of the implementation status of the Work Style Reform-related Act, and this time a discussion draft has been presented for compiling a report.
The following are some of the topics that have been in the news.
●Flexible working hours system that matches the reality of telework
・By expanding the core time of the flex-time system and introducing a core day (a system in which the employer decides the starting and finishing times for work on a specific day), it is thought that it will be possible to introduce a flex-time system even when there is a mixture of telework days and regular work days.
→The introduction of a core day is thought to lead to the promotion of the introduction of a flex-time system, and it is thought that it should be introduced, not just in the case of telework.
Securing regular days off
From the perspective of preventing continuous work exceeding two weeks or more, which is the recognized standard for work-related accidents, it is thought that consideration should be given including a provision in the Labour Standards Act to the effect that ‘consecutive work of more than 13 days must not be allowed’, including the case where a clause on holiday work is included in the 36 Agreement.
● Premium pay for side-job workers and multiple-job workers
There are some who point out that it is difficult to obtain permission for or accept side-job workers and multiple-job workers because the burden of managing the total hours worked for both the main and secondary jobs (whereas normal working hours are generally managed on a monthly basis) is too burdensome.
There is no system for calculating overtime premium payment on a combined basis for more than 2 additional side-jobs in countries like the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
→It is thought that the system should be revised so that the calculation of overtime premium payment is not required while maintaining the calculation of working hours to ensure the health of workers.

What Clients Have to Say About Us:
We are very fortunate to have formed excellent partnerships with our clients. Here’s what they’re saying about us.
”As a foreigner, the journey to extend my business to Japan seemed an impossible task until I met Kyoko Iwata from Iwata Labor Management Office in April 2018 at JETRO Nagoya. Right from the beginning her knowledge about business related topics in Japan helped me to have confidence and clarity about the way forward. In the years since our founding, she has provided valuable consolations and helpful advice on every occasion that helped Wenzel Designtec to move faster, saving both time and money every step of the way. Looking back on the experience, I know that we selected the right business and employment partner in Japan and I recommend them 100%.”
Mr. Frank Wenzel, CEO of Wenzel DesignTec GmBH
"We are a staffing and training services provider of global human resources with our head office located in Nagoya. Both Japanese and English are spoken in the office as our CEO is originally from Canada and the number of foreign employees almost equals the number of Japanese employees.
With this international mix, there are various challenges in this global working environment. For example, Japanese-style office regulations are hard to understand for foreign employees, and explanations of social insurance and payroll deduction are required so that they can clearly understand the payslip breakdown. Also, the understanding of how overtime is calculated.
When concluding a labor-management agreement, background information needs to be explained bilingually, which is difficult to understand even for Japanese native speakers. Furthermore, foreign employees proactively express their opinions and requests, which is good for improving various challenges, but on the other hand, it is sometimes difficult to maintain consistency of company regulations.
Under such situations, Ms. Iwata supports our business and operation by listening to our different challenges and effectively provides a variety of proposals and possible solutions during her monthly visit. As a result, we are able to share information with all employees without any loss of time thanks to her swift action, making internal operations more efficient. In addition to this, she continually shares information that is difficult to obtain ourselves, such as subsidies and system introduction for job simplification.
She is the ideal business consultant who can provide necessary information and solutions for company executives working under limited time frames. We very much appreciate Ms. Iwata's support for the continued expansion and growth of our business."
