Overtime laws in Japan are complex and can depend on the specific circumstances and the employee. We are happy to discuss in more detail for a specific context.
Employees in Japan are entitled to a minimum of 10 working days of paid annual leave if they've been continuously employed for six months and have an attendance record of at least 80% of the total number of working days during that period.
Entitlement increases by one working day per year for the following two years and by two working days per year thereafter, up to a maximum of 20 working days per year. Employees are entitled to carry over unused annual leave for one year only.
In general, there are no sick leave rights in Japan. Employers may have a discretionary sick leave policy.
Japan’s maternity leave regulations include 14 weeks (6 weeks before and 8 weeks after birth) at two thirds of the base salary, which is covered by Social Security.
Paternity leave in Japan may last up to 12 months.
Unpaid childcare leave exists in Japan and its length varies depending on whether both parents intend to take it.
We believe that remote employees should be able to access their local, as well as a high standard international benefits anywhere they are. Details about international or country specific benefits packages can be provided on request. Please contact us for further details.
There are a range of reasons that an employer in Japan can use to lawfully terminate an employment relationship, which depend on the specific circumstances. If you would like to know more specific details, please contact us.
