FAQ
What are the legal Japanese overtime rates?
労働基準法 mandates: +25% for normal overtime, +50% if weekday OT exceeds 60 hours per month, +25% late-night (22:00–05:00), +35% on legal holidays. Late-night premiums stack on top.
How is the base hourly rate calculated?
Monthly salary divided by average monthly work hours (typically 160–170h). Excludes commuting allowance and family allowance for the legal-minimum calculation.
Does this apply to "discretionary work" (裁量労働制) staff?
Generally no for the OT premium itself, but late-night and holiday premiums still apply. Consult your contract.
