What to Consider When Hiring Employees in Japan?

Employment

In Japan, employees are engaged under the Japanese Labour Standards Law and are entitled to various benefits, including paid annual leave, sick leave, and parental leave. Notice periods vary depending on the length of service, and there are strict rules regarding termination.

Benefits

Employers are required to provide health insurance through the Employee's Health Insurance system (Shakai Hoken). By using Workwell Global's Employer of Record Japan solution, you can attract candidates by offering supplementary benefits plans.

Law

Employment laws vary between regions, with minimum employment standards set by federal law. Employers must comply with these regulations, including the Japanese Labour Standards Law and the Japanese Civil Code.
