Seibu Higher, a subsidiary of Seibu Holdings, a major private railway company, did not use part of the employment adjustment subsidy received from the government as a leave allowance, and recorded the difference of more than 160 million yen as extraordinary profit of the company. I found out.


The company says, "We have consulted with the Labor Bureau and have no intention of fraud, but we are considering a response."

"Seibu Hire" operates taxis and hire in Tokyo and Saitama, but the number of users has decreased due to the influence of the new coronavirus, so employees who have been closed since April last year will receive the full basic salary based on the labor-management agreement. Or, it means that you are paying the higher of the average wages for the last three months, which is 60%.



Most employees are supposed to receive the full basic salary, but the company has applied to the state for 100% of the average wage as an employment adjustment grant.



The company paid many of its employees the full amount of its basic salary as a leave allowance based on a labor-management agreement, but recorded the difference from the employment adjustment subsidy received from the government as an extraordinary profit. From April last year to February this year, it will amount to 163 million yen.



Seibu Holdings, the parent company, commented, "The application was made in consultation with the Labor Bureau, and there was no intention of fraud. We are considering future measures with the Labor Bureau."
