Overtime Pay & Maximum Hours
Standard working hours are 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week. The standard work week is from Monday to Friday.
Overtime payment is only mandatory if the employee is not an exempt manager. For that case, overtime payment can’t be included in the salary. Hours outside of standard work hours are considered overtime. Employees can work a maximum of 360 hours of overtime per year.
All employees in Japan must track their working hours using Deel's Time & Attendance tool to comply with labor laws. Starting July 1, 2024, Sunday will be the default weekly paid holiday, unless the employer specifies another day.
