4.5 Legislation on オンライン ブラック ジャックs, breaks and days off

オンライン ブラック ジャックs must, in principle, not exceed 40 hours per week or eight hours per day excluding breaks (this is known as "statutory オンライン ブラック ジャックs"). However, some businesses are permitted to have their employees work up to 44 hours per week at a maximum of eight hours per day. These businesses include retail and beauty services, cinemas and theatres, businesses related to health and hygiene, as well as restaurants and entertainment businesses with less than 10 regular employees.

In the event that an employee works six hours, the employer must give that employee not less than a 45 minute break; this increases to a one hour break where オンライン ブラック ジャックs exceed eight hours.

Employers must grant employees at least one day off per week, or four days off in any four-week period (this is known as "statutory days off"). Sundays or public holidays need not necessarily be days off, and other days may be selected as employees' days off instead by agreement between オンライン ブラック ジャックmployer and employees.

System of annual modified オンライン ブラック ジャックs

Employees' オンライン ブラック ジャックs must not exceed 40 hours on average per week for a specified period of more than one month but not more than one year. If a company adopts this system, even workers whose statutory オンライン ブラック ジャックs are 44 hours per week, under the exemptions detailed in 4.5.1 (1), are subject to the aforementioned 40-hour average.

System of monthly modified オンライン ブラック ジャックs

Provided that provisions are drawn up prohibiting employees' オンライン ブラック ジャックs from exceeding 40 hours*1 on average per week for a specified period of not more than one month, the employer may have employees work in excess of 40 hours in a specified week or in excess of eight hours on a specified day.

Flextime system

Another system under which オンライン ブラック ジャックs can be adjusted within a monthly period is the flextime system. Under this, the total number of オンライン ブラック ジャックs that a worker must work during a fixed period of not more than three month is established, and workers are free within limits to determine what time they start and stop work each day provided that they meet the total number of オンライン ブラック ジャックs required.

Week-based modified オンライン ブラック ジャックs

Under this system, employers may have employees work for more than eight hours but not more than 10 hours per day, provided that employees' オンライン ブラック ジャックs do not exceed 40 hours per week. It should be noted, however, that this system is limited to retailers, inns and restaurants with less than 30 regular employees. Furthermore, if a company adopts the system, even workers whose statutory オンライン ブラック ジャックs are 44 hours per week, under the exemptions detailed in 4.5.1 (1), are subject to the aforementioned 40-hour average.

System of deemed オンライン ブラック ジャックs outside the workplace

This system is to deem that employees have worked for prescribed オンライン ブラック ジャックs where it is difficult to calculate the employees’ オンライン ブラック ジャックs because the employees work outside the workplace for sales, media coverage or other reasons. However, in general, if the employees need to work in excess of the prescribed オンライン ブラック ジャックs in order to provide the services, it will be deemed that the employees have worked for “hours generally required to perform those services” or “hours prescribed in the labor-management agreement”.

Discretionary working system for professional services

For certain services that are highly professional and difficult to provide specific instructions pertaining to the means of performing services and the allocation of time, by prescribing オンライン ブラック ジャックs in the labor-management agreement and submitting that agreement to the chief of the relevant labour standards inspection office, it will be deemed that the employees worked for the hours prescribed in the agreement regardless of the actual オンライン ブラック ジャックs.

Discretionary working system for planning services

For a person who engages in services such as planning, plan proposal, research and analysis in which the method of performing those services must be left to the employee’s discretion to a large extent, if certain matters are resolved with the majority votes of four-fifth or more of the committee members at the labor-management committee, and the matter is registered to Labor Standards Inspection Office, it will be deemed that the person worked for the hours resolved at the labor-management committee regardless of the actual オンライン ブラック ジャックs.

Maternity leave

If an employee of expectant mother requests permission for leave of absence six weeks prior to オンライン ブラック ジャックxpected date of delivery (14 weeks in the case of multiple pregnancies), オンライン ブラック ジャックmployer must approve the request. Furthermore, employers are, in principle, prohibited to cause any female employee to work for a period of eight weeks commencing from the day following that on which オンライン ブラック ジャックmployee gave birth.

Childcare leave

If an employee with a child aged less than one-year-old requests permission for a leave of absence (by the child's first birthday in principle, or up to the age of 24 months if certain conditions are met), オンライン ブラック ジャックmployer must approve the request. Also, an employee is eligible for childcare leave at childbirth while his spouse is on maternity leave after delivery, on top of the regular childcare leave. Employers may deem employees who have worked at the company for less than one year to be ineligible for childcare leave, provided, however, that オンライン ブラック ジャックmployer does so by stipulating to that effect in a labor-management agreement.

Exemption from non-scheduled work, obligation for short-time working system, and limitation of overtime work

If an employee with a child aged less than three years old requests to be exempted from non-scheduled work, he/she must not be made to work in excess of prescribed オンライン ブラック ジャックs. If an employee with a child aged less than three years old requests to take short-time オンライン ブラック ジャック system, he/she must be allowed to do so. If an employee with a child of preschool age requests to be exempted from non-scheduled work, he/she must not be made to work overtime in excess of 24 hours in a month or 150 hours in a year.

Family care leave

If an employee with a family member who has been judged to require a certain level of nursing care requests permission for a leave of absence to provide such nursing care, オンライン ブラック ジャックmployer must approve such a request in separate periods for up to three times for a total of 93 days per family member concerned. Employers may deem employees who have worked at the company for less than one year and those whose employment will terminate after the 93 day period and 6 months pass from the scheduled start date of family care leave as ineligible for family care leave, provided, however, that オンライン ブラック ジャックmployer does so by stipulating to that effect in a labor-management agreement.

Leave of absence to nurse a child or to take care of family

If an employee with a child of preschool age requests to nurse his/her sick or injured child, he/she may take a leave of absence of up to five days per year (or up to 10 days per year if he/she has two or more children of preschool age). In addition, if an employee with a family member requiring nursing care requests permission for a leave of absence to nurse such a family member, he/she may take a leave of absence of up to 5 days per year (or up to 10 days per year if he/she has two or more of such family members). This leave can be taken in hourly increments.
