Basic Japanese labor law
Working hour and break

Key takeaways

If you are going to let employee work over 8 hours, need to submit labor management agreement for Article 36 (Overtimne agreement) beforehand and need to pay overtime allowance. Incremental ratio will be discussed in other article.

If employee works over 8 hours, employer must provide more than 1 hour break. For example, employee works 12 or 15 hours in a day, 1 hour break is enough from legal perspective however, it is better to provide necessary break from employee’s health condition standpoint.
