FAQ
The Japanese wage system has traditionally been closely linked to the seniority system. Wages are often still strongly influenced by an employee's length of service. Salaried workers normally receive a monthly salary plus two seasonal bonuses. Particularly in large companies, the bonus system plays an important role.
Various protections exist with regards to anti- discrimination laws in Japan, as outlined below. The Labour Standards Act prohibits discrimination with respect to wages, working hours or working conditions, by reason of nationality, creed or social status.
An employee may bring a discrimination claim against the employer by filing a civil lawsuit before the appropriate court, or through a petition for proceedings before the appropriate labour tribunal.
Japan has no laws prohibiting racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination, or discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Japanese Constitution provides for freedom of speech and of the press. In theory, an independent press, an effective judiciary, and a functioning democratic political system combine to ensure freedom of speech and of the press.
Long Working Hours: Many employees work significantly more than the standard 40-hour week. Overtime is common, and it's not unusual for workers to stay late at the office. Karoshi: This term refers to death from overwork and highlights the extreme pressures some employees face.
Over half a century later, the culture of extreme overwork still lingers in Japan. A recent government survey found that around one in 10 Japanese workers put in more than 80 hours of overtime per month, with one in five at risk of karoshi – whether through stroke, heart attack or stress-induced suicide.
When it comes to work culture, Japan has a reputation for its diligent and disciplined approach. As a newcomer, it is essential to adapt to this cultural norm by being punctual, respectful towards colleagues and superiors, and demonstrating a strong work ethic.
Supply chain issues, rising labor costs, and political issues have highlighted problems with Japan's reliance on China as a base for its manufacturing investments. With a low birthrate and aging population, Japan's social security system is under strain and is suffering from labor shortages.
