Non-regular Employment, Temporary Staffing, Outsourcing, Freelancing
As the government endeavors to stabilize the employment and improve the treatment of non-regular employees such as fixed-term employees, part-time employees, and dispatched employees, it has become increasingly important to act in accordance with latest laws and recent court rulings. In addition, new laws have been established to ensure fair treatment of self-employed workers, such as freelancers and gig workers. Our firm has developed extensive knowledge of the laws, regulations and commercial practices in the fields of non-regular employment, outsourcing, and freelancing. We also continuously keep abreast of and provide practical advice on the legislation, amendment, and abolishment of relevant laws and regulations as well as court rulings that may affect our clients’ human capital strategy. In addition, we regularly provide clients in Japan and abroad with advice on temporary staffing (worker dispatch) and employment placement.
