If you are a foreigner living in Japan with limited Japanese language proficiency and looking for a part-time job, there are several options available to you. Firstly, make sure you have the necessary work permit stamp on your visa. Then, pay attention to the limitations of the jobs that you are allowed to do according to your work permit. For example, foreign students are typically not permitted to work at nightclubs. The most common part-time jobs for foreigners in Japan include working in factories, convenience stores, and restaurants. To find a part-time job, you can ask your friends for recommendations or pay attention to recruiting posters and columns in newspapers. Additionally, you can take full advantage of the internet service and search for job information on websites or apps.
There are two ways to apply for a part-time job: by phone or through a web application. Follow the contact method listed in the job posting and choose the one that suits you best. If you choose to apply by phone, prepare your questions in advance and check the company/store's phone reception hours before making the call. On the other hand, if you choose to apply online, double-check the recruitment information and ensure that there are no mismatches with the conditions before submitting your application. To apply online, fill in the necessary information in the application form on getwork.jp and submit it. After applying, the company will contact you to schedule an interview. The contact method may be via phone or email, but in either case, be sure to be polite when replying or returning the call.
The basic rules for writing a part-time job resume include using a black ballpoint pen, rewriting the entire section if a mistake is made, only writing factual information, and it being acceptable to use handwriting or a computer. Additionally, copying a handwritten resume is not acceptable. The basic information section includes the date, name, seal, birth date, address, phone number/email, and a photo, and the correct way to write each of these items is explained. The education and employment history sections should be written in order by date ascending. In terms of the section on personal statement and self-promotion, it is recommended to write why you chose the company in the personal statement, and in the self-promotion section, highlight your strengths gained from previous part-time jobs, school, or extracurricular activities. Finally, in the sections on licenses/qualifications, desired position, and the section for parents/guardian signatures, it is explained that you should write your licenses and qualifications in chronological order, write your desired position if multiple positions are available, and fill out the parent's or guardian's signature section if necessary.
To prepare for a part-time job interview, pay attention to the following points: Preparation beforehand: Before the part-time job interview, prepare necessary documents such as a resume. Also, confirm the address, phone number of the employer, and the name and department of the interviewer. Questions that may be asked: There are common questions that are asked in part-time job interviews for any position. It is important to think ahead about your motivation for applying, the reasons why you want the job, your preferred shift or availability, and your past experience with part-time jobs. Attire and grooming: For a part-time job interview, aim for a clean and presentable appearance. You don't need to wear a suit, but solid or light-colored shirts or blouses, plain pants or skirts that cover the knees, leather shoes, or low-heeled pumps are appropriate. Also, pay attention to your hairstyle and makeup and aim for a clean and presentable appearance. Manners on the day of the interview: Arrive at the interview venue with enough time. Greet the interviewer, hand over your resume, and answer questions. Also, confirm the method and timing of receiving the results of the interview.
Unless the job posting specifically requires the qualification, HR personnel often view this section as a way to assess one's motivation and willingness to take on challenges. Therefore, there is no need to be pessimistic. It's also a good idea to appeal to your desire to improve your skills or obtain a particular qualification.
Generally, many companies have an interview period of around one to two weeks, so it may not necessarily be considered late in this case. You could try waiting a little longer. However, contacting them is not rude, so if you really want to know, it's okay to contact them to confirm the situation.
When you are hired, your employer has an obligation to notify you of your working conditions, including salary and working hours. For part-time or temporary work, it is important to confirm not only the hourly wage but also the number of shifts, hours, and whether or not there is a set employment period. There is also an obligation to clearly state matters related to retirement.
The following points are important for greetings and manners on the first day of work as a part-time employee. When you arrive at the workplace, first greet the employees and ask them to call the person in charge. After the first greeting with the person in charge, confirm what you should do next and who you should ask for instructions. When greeting your coworkers, it is important to convey a brief self-introduction and a positive attitude in addition to saying "よろしくお願いします(nice to meet you)". Especially on the first day, try to arrive 10 minutes before the start time of work with a clean and neat appearance. It may also be a good idea to bring a notepad and pen so that you can take notes in your new workplace.
Let's confirm if there is a trial or training period. If there is one, let's receive an explanation of the terms and conditions during that period, such as the duration, hourly wage, employment type, and social insurance.
In small to medium-sized companies, it is not uncommon for employment conditions to be conveyed orally. Therefore, it is a good idea to create a memo that includes the date of the interview, the name of the person in charge, and the checklist of items discussed. Although such a memo may not be legally binding, it can be helpful when speaking with the Labor Standards Inspection Office in the event of a dispute.
Transportation expenses can be fully or partially reimbursed, so it is important to confirm with the company.
Generally, you will be assigned to a workplace according to the company's policy. However, if you have a specific request, you can try to explain your situation and ask if it's possible to make adjustments.
Increased wages such as overtime pay are paid, including for part-time and temporary workers, as stipulated by the Labor Standards Act. With regards to overtime pay, wages of 1.25 times or more of the regular wage are paid for work exceeding 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week. Furthermore, for overtime work exceeding 60 hours per month, the increased rate becomes 1.5 times or more (this will also apply to small and medium-sized enterprises from April 2023). For late-night work allowances, wages of 1.25 times or more of the regular wage must be paid for work between 10 pm and 5 am the following morning. Regarding holiday work allowances, extra allowances are paid for work on statutory holidays, and the extra allowance is 1.35 times or more of the regular wage.
Working more than 8 hours a day is considered overtime work, and the company is obligated to pay 25% more in wages, regardless of whether you are a full-time employee or part-time worker. Therefore, even part-time workers can receive overtime pay.
If you have attended work for more than 80% of the promised workdays during the first six months after starting work, regardless of whether you are a full-time employee, part-time worker or temporary worker, you will be entitled to paid leave.
The company work rules specify various rules and regulations necessary for working in the workplace, including working hours, break times, holidays, leave, wages, allowances, retirement, and disciplinary actions. These rules are established to ensure that both the company and you can work with peace of mind, so even if you are a part-time worker, be sure to check the contents of the rules carefully in advance.
People aged 20 or over and under 60 are obliged to join the national pension system regardless of their employment status.
It is common for companies to subscribe to workers accident compensation insurance to cover medical expenses for accidents that occur during the commute or while on the job. Since all employees hired by the company are covered, part-time workers are naturally included. However, there are some companies that do not subscribe to this insurance, so it is necessary to confirm whether the part-time employer is enrolled in workers accident compensation insurance or not.
The regulations regarding working hours, break time, holidays, and paid vacation are determined by the Labor Standards Act regardless of employment status. Regarding working hours, the upper limit of working hours is usually set at 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week, excluding break time. If you exceed this, it will be considered overtime work. In addition, late-night work from 10 PM to 5 AM is prohibited for those under 18 years old. Regarding break time, if the working hours are more than 6 hours but less than 8 hours per day, a break of 45 minutes or more is required, and if the working hours exceed 8 hours per day, a break of at least one hour is required. This is a rule that employers must follow in providing breaks to their employees. Break time is not considered working time, so it is not included in hourly wages. For holidays, workers must be given a minimum of one day off per week (or four days off per four weeks), which is called a "statutory holiday." Company-specific holidays are called "prescribed holidays" and are given more than the statutory holiday. The holiday allowance only applies to work on statutory holidays. Regarding paid vacation, it is granted if the conditions are met, regardless of employment status as a part-time or temporary worker. If you work for more than six months and attend work for at least 80% of the promised working days, paid vacation will be granted.
Regarding salary, the Labor Standards Act and Minimum Wage Act serve as the basis, and the Part-time Labor Law and other laws are related to the wage gap between part-time and full-time employees. As for the payment method of wages, according to the Labor Standards Act, wages such as salaries must be paid (1) in currency, (2) directly to the worker, (3) in full, (4) at least once a month, and (5) by a specified deadline (Five Principles of Wage Payment). This means that if the salary is to be deposited, a personal account in the individual's name is required. The timing of payments varies depending on the employer, and can be once a month, twice a month, weekly, or on the same day. The minimum wage is set for each prefecture for the basic salary and is reviewed around October every year. The hourly wage for part-time and temporary employees must generally exceed this standard, not only during the trial period. In terms of job duties and treatment, part-time and temporary employees generally have limited job duties and shorter contract periods and working hours compared to full-time employees. Therefore, there are often differences in salary and benefits. However, if there is no difference in job duties, the Part-time Labor Law promotes an equalization of working conditions, regardless of working hours or contract periods, with full-time employees.
There are four main types of social insurance benefits, including workers accident compensation insurance, employment insurance, welfare pension insurance, and health insurance. Since all of them are important, let's make sure to confirm whether the company has enrolled in them properly.
Health insurance is an insurance that provides medical benefits for sickness, injury, childbirth, and other health-related needs. Welfare pension insurance is a pension insurance that prepares for retirement, disability, death, and other life events. Full-time employees are required to enroll, and part-time, temporary, and contract employees can also enroll if they meet certain requirements. Dispatched workers can also enroll through their dispatch company if they meet certain conditions. The insurance premium varies depending on the salary, but the cost is generally divided equally between the company and the individual and is deducted from the monthly salary. Long-term care insurance is collected together with health insurance premiums when the insured person becomes 40 years old or older. Short-term workers such as part-time and temporary employees can join the employer's social insurance program if they meet any of the following conditions.
Employment insurance is a system that provides benefits for those who become unemployed, as well as benefits such as childcare leave, nursing care leave, and education and training while employed. To be eligible for employment insurance benefits, an individual must have worked for at least 11 days in a month for 12 months within a period of two years. However, in cases where a company goes bankrupt, the duration requirement is shortened to 6 months. All employees who meet the following conditions are eligible for benefits regardless of their employment status. On the other hand, workers' compensation insurance is a public system in which the government provides benefits to employers for work-related injuries or illnesses that occur while working or commuting. It is applicable when a company employs one or more workers, and the full insurance premium is paid by the employer. All workers, including part-time and temporary workers, are eligible for this insurance.
If there are problems such as the working conditions being different from what was initially explained, or if overtime pay is not being paid, first try consulting with your supervisor, human resources department, legal department, etc. If the problem is still not resolved, you can consult with the local labor standards supervision office. The labor standards supervision office is a national agency that supervises whether companies and workplaces comply with labor-related laws and regulations. However, the labor standards supervision office mainly investigates and corrects violations of labor standards laws by companies, and does not often act to resolve individual labor problems. If improvements are not seen even after consulting with the company or supervisor, consider looking for a different job.
Generally, the periods with the most job openings are from January to March, and from July to September. However, it's important to note that a successful job change often takes a lot of time. Considering things like giving notice at your current job, transition time, and sufficient time for the hiring process, you'll want to give yourself about six months. It's important not to rush, so keep that in mind when setting the timing for your job change.
It is recommended to inform your employer of your intention to resign at least one month before your desired resignation date. It is best to tell your supervisor in person. It is important to convey reasons for your resignation that your employer will find acceptable. You do not need to provide negative reasons such as difficulties with work or relationships. It is necessary to confirm the final day of work and the official resignation date, which may be different. Additionally, you should confirm how to hand over work and return any equipment, how to receive your final pay, and whether any necessary documents such as a resignation letter need to be submitted. On your final day, make sure to say goodbye to your colleagues and express your gratitude to your supervisor. If you give a farewell speech in front of everyone, it's a good idea to express your gratitude. By following these points, you can quit your part-time job smoothly.
If you are dismissed, A company must have a reasonable cause for dismissal, and an unfair dismissal is invalid by law. When dismissing an employee, the employer must provide a notice at least 30 days in advance or pay a severance payment equivalent to 30 days' average wage (Article 20 of the Labor Standards Act). However, those who are employed on a daily basis, on a contract for a period of less than two months, for seasonal work for less than four months, or who have been employed for less than two weeks during their probationary period are not eligible for a severance payment.
