Karoshi - Managing employee overtime in Japan: A complimentary webinar from TMF Group

  • 05 Sep 2017
  • 17:30 - 18:30
  • Webinar


The recent wide coverage in the media about the "Karoshi" crisis ("working to death" in Japanese) has aroused the interests of the public and employers to learn more about labour regulations in Japan.

Both employers and employees have the obligation to understand certain rights and protections when it comes to overtime work.     

In this webinar, we will cover the following topics:

  • Current issues facing employers and employees
  • Employment law in Japan and its implications
  • Compliance and regulatory issues facing employers
  • Tips on measuring and monitoring overtime work and its precautions.

With the recent news about Japan's unemployment rate reaching its lowest level in 20 years, our experts will also discuss how this would affect the overtime culture and what authorities can do to help improve it.

The following speakers from TMF Group and DLA Piper will share their knowledge and practical experience during this webinar.
