Basic facts

Japan, an island nation in East Asia, is an archipelago of 6,852 islands in the Pacific Ocean that stretch for approximately 1,500 miles (2,400 km) in a northeast-southwest arc. Nearly the entire land area is taken up by the country’s four main islands; from north to south these are Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu.

The country is a constitutional monarchy. Japan has a large and, to a great extent, ethnically homogeneous and heavily concentrated population in the low-lying areas along the Pacific coast of Honshu. More than 99% of the population speaks Japanese. A heavy emphasis is placed on education, and Japan is one of the world’s most literate countries. The economy of Japan is the third-largest in the world after the United States and the People’s Republic of China.

The approximate time for sharing the contract with an employee in Japan is 14 business days assuming no special requests or changes to our standard employment contract. Any such requests or changes would need to undergo internal and external review, directly leading to a time delay.

NOTE: This number is subject to change and is only an estimation of the Contract Sharing Time. The estimated Contract Sharing Time begins from the moment that WorkMotion has received all required information from both the client and the employee.

  • There is a Happy Monday system where public holidays are planned on Mondays to grant the benefit of an extended weekend to employees on a five-day workweek.
  • A 2019 regulation has made it mandatory for managers to take at least five days off out of their annual leave allocation of 10-20 days. Japan has one of the lowest utilization of holidays in the world.
  • There is no statutory provision for sick leave.
  • A physical checkup is mandatory for all companies. The cost of the physical checkup varies depending on the employee’s age and the clinics, as clinics/doctors are able to decide the cost at their discretion.
  • Stress checkup is only mandatory when the company has more than 50 employees. For companies with up to 50 employees, the stress check up is just an optional, non-statutory benefit.
  • Employers with more than 50 employees are required to provide access to all employees for consultations with an Industrial Doctor that are authorized by the Japan Doctors’ Association.
  • Guidelines to promote the appropriate introduction and implementation of telework indicate that it is important for labor and management to establish rules on telework in advance.
