Compliance with labor laws:

PERSONNEL AND LABOR MANAGEMENT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

When employing workers in Japan, companies are required to rigorously manage personnel and labor management in accordance with labor laws and related regulations. For example, the Labor Standards Law stipulates the maximum working hours, minimum wages, and the use of vacations and vacation time, and it is the basic obligation of companies to comply with these laws. In addition, the Labor Contract Law provides rules regarding the formation of labor contracts, changes in content, and termination of contracts.

Providing a safe working environment with proper compliance handling including keeping up with changes in the laws and related regulations can increase employee satisfaction and trust and build long-term working relationships. This allows companies to attract and retain the best talent and increase their competitiveness.

Failure to this can lead to labor disputes, lawsuits, and other problems that can damage a company’s credibility among workers and its image in society. In fact, labor troubles in Japan have exceeded 1 million cases per year for 15 consecutive years, further increasing the importance of legal compliance. Such management can take appropriate measures by working with labor management specialists.
