The winning idea in the policy proposal contest on wage increases posted on the Cabinet Office’s website
The policy proposal contest on “wage increases” held by the Cabinet Office has been criticized by labor unions and labor law experts for “encouraging evasion of the law.” The winning idea regarding overtime work was to reduce the burden of social insurance premiums and other costs by switching to a contract for services, leading to some criticism that the government’s stance is now being called into question. In June, the Cabinet Office published on its website the results of a “Policy Ideas Contest for Achieving Widespread Wage Increases,” which was held among prefectural employees. The winning idea was to ban overtime work for company employees and outsource work after regular hours to self-employed individuals, which was said to have benefits for both labor and management, such as reduced social insurance premiums and increased take-home pay. (Omitted) The federation released a statement from its secretary-general saying, “It is regrettable that the Cabinet Office, which is responsible for planning and drafting important national policies, has awarded and publicized a proposal that encourages evasion of the law.” *See source for full text.
>>1 What’s so bad about this is that it wasn’t made by some smart but naive new graduate, but by an assistant section chief And Yoshitaka Shindo, Minister of State for Economic Revitalization, who read the contents and decided that it was the winner, is the most badass.
>>1 It’s not a wage increase, it’s a replacement. Social security contributions are declining. They just cut back on the benefits that employees should be entitled to.
>>1 The Labor Standards Act simply prescribes overtime pay as a penalty, so any contract to avoid that would have to be illegal. It completely defeats the purpose of the law. We shouldn’t let this guy win, lol, as the government lol.
>>3 If you don’t mind being fired, go ahead. Since it’s a contract job, it doesn’t matter if you’re on a minimum wage or the 36-hour work agreement, so you can order 500 hours of work for 1 yen, right?
Cheating is always first-rate Japanese >The winning idea was to ban overtime work for company employees and outsource work after regular hours to self-employed individuals.
Everyone at the core of the country has become hedonistic. They live a lavish life until they die using stolen tax money. If all Japanese people became politicians or government officials, everyone would live happily. There would be nowhere to steal tax money from, but I don’t care. I don’t care.
>>12 In fact, I think Japan is already under the control of the pot, and politicians and bureaucrats are only working to destroy Japan lol The LDP government is that bad lol.
It doesn’t matter, as long as the client has the ability to make realistic estimates for the work without leaving it all to others, we would definitely like them to entrust us with the work.
>>15 Proper source wife That’s not what I’m talking about I’m threatening you that if you work overtime, you’ll be treated as an independent contractor no matter how much overtime you work Because you’re an independent contractor, even if you work 200 hours overtime and end up in the hospital, it won’t be considered a work-related injury lol.
No matter how you look at it, it’s illegal. It’s really too shady. Well, the illegal act of pachinko has been overlooked for so many years, so it’s a bit late to talk about it now.
If you quit your full-time job and outsource all your work, you’ll be free from overtime, social security, and everything else. Plus, you’ll save on consumption tax.
By the way, since it’s a “contracted business,” you absolutely cannot manage working hours (forcing employees to come to work or not allowing them to leave work), and as a supervisor you cannot scold or instruct them about their work.
For some reason, this is conveniently still considered “employment.”
This type of contracted business format has been around in the real estate sales industry for a while, but the basic premise is that it must be “completely separate from employment.” Companies that can’t even do this bare minimum should never do it.
>>36 The worst >>32 I still can’t complain about this.

>>36 The real estate business is mostly commission-based. We have to weed out the ones that don’t sell. If the bill is rejected, bureaucrats will also be required to work zero overtime and with no salary guarantees.
