What if the company responds if the emergency declaration is extended? New Corona April 30 17:43
In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, there is a widespread movement among companies to work from home as a general rule, and there are places where the head office and other offices are temporarily closed. It is a policy to consider whether or not.
In principle, Toshiba is closed from all sites in Japan from 20th to 6th May except for the work related to social infrastructure. The company will carefully consider whether to extend the leave period if the emergency declaration is extended. Even if we do not extend the leave, we will devise a shift in the factory work and make the employees of the R & D department work from home as much as possible to reduce the number of people going to work compared to before the leave.
In addition, Canon, in principle, is closed at its headquarters in Ota-ku, Tokyo until the 6th of next month. The company is in the process of considering what to do afterwards, and wants to reduce the number of people who work from home, etc. as much as possible, even if they do not extend the leave.
As a general rule, Hitachi, Ltd. is working from home nationwide, and if the declaration is extended, it is our policy to continue our efforts.
In principle, Toyota Motor Corporation will have employees working at its Tokyo head office and Nagoya office working from home until May 6, and if the declaration is extended, we will consider how to handle it, including extending the period. The factory will operate as planned.
The government is calling for 80% reduction in contact opportunities, and companies are required to make efforts to reduce attendance as much as possible.
Construction suspended at major general contractors
Many of the major general contractors have suspended construction in various areas following the declaration of an emergency.
Obayashi Corporation, the largest company, basically takes measures to suspend construction work on construction sites such as buildings until the 6th of next month, but if the extension of the emergency declaration is decided, the policy is to continue the suspension.
In addition, Kashima Construction and Shimizu Construction are also considering whether or not to suspend work.
In addition to the delay in the construction period due to the prolonged interruption, there is concern about the impact on the management of subcontracted construction companies and the employment of people who work on site.
