In Japan, the standard workweek runs from Monday to Friday and includes 40 hours of work per week, unless otherwise agreed upon with a union or a representative of local employees. The agreement must specify the maximum number of hours of overtime work permitted.

Employers are required to compensate employees who work more than 40 hours per week. If the employee is a manager, he or she is expected to work overtime without compensation from the company.

If an employee is regularly expected to work overtime, a written agreement must be in place and filed with the Labor Inspection Office.

Overtime pay at the basic rate is 125 percent of the base hourly wage. Work on a rest day is compensated at 135% of the base hourly wage. Overtime paid late at night (between 10:00pm and 5:00am) is 150 percent of the base hourly wage. On a rest day, late night overtime pays 160 percent of the base hourly wage. Overtime work exceeding 60 hours per month is compensated at 150 percent of the base hourly wage. Overtime in excess of 60 hours per month is compensated at 175 percent of the base hourly wage.

Currently, small to medium-sized businesses are exempt from the last two rates. Additionally, “persons in supervisory or management positions or those who handle confidential matters” are generally exempt from overtime.

Enrollment is required for both citizens and resident non-citizens. Approximately 59 percent of the population is covered by employment-based plans.

Every employed person is covered by social health insurance, to which employers and employees each contribute 5% of their salary.

Foreign people who wish to work in Japan must first get a work visa from their nearest Japanese embassy or consulate. There are several statuses for residence visas, each of which allows the bearer to work solely in the particular sector. A university degree or considerable professional experience in the particular sector is believed to be required to qualify for a working visa, which normally needs an employer to sponsor.

For administrative purposes like as social security, taxes, and disaster response, all foreign employees need a 'Individual Number'.

Decide on the kind of company structure to utilize before beginning the Japan subsidiary creation procedure. The four most prevalent are as follows:

(a) Godo-Kaisha: A company structure comparable to an LLC in the United States.

(b) Goshi-Kaisha: A business with a limited liability.

(c) Gomei-Kaisha: A general partnership organization

(d) Kabushiki-Kaisha (KK): A joint-stock corporation

The KK model is the most common corporate structure in Japan, and it is ideal for international firms wishing to create a subsidiary.

In both the KK and Goshi-Kaisha models, liability is restricted to the assets contributed by equity investors. Both may be established using a similar procedure:

1. Check to see whether the name you wish to use is available. The corporate name must be used by branch offices, however subsidiaries may use whatever name they desire.

2. Choose and register the representatives for the firm.

3. Open an office and bank accounts in Japan to pay staff.

According to Japanese subsidiary legislation, a KK must have at least three directors. One should be recognized as a representative director and should be in possession of the corporate seal. This director will serve as the company's representative in transactions. Furthermore, at least one of the three directors must be Japanese.
