Interaction with Labor Standards Inspection Offices and Labor Bureaus

Recent years have seen many cases in which Labor Standards Inspection Offices have issued guidance and corrective instructions to corporations. In particular, there has been an increase in guidance and corrective instructions related to working hours, including issues with unpaid overtime, long work hours, and appropriate management/supervision. When a guidance or corrective instruction by a Labor Standards Inspection Office is not handled appropriately, the case may progress into a criminal proceeding.
