With more and more people working side-by-side or part-time jobs, the MHLW's council has compiled a report that will revise the system so that working hours from multiple establishments can be added together when certifying work-related injuries.
The number of adults working as side jobs and side jobs is more than 1.28 million, and it is increasing year by year. It was pointed out that they were not able to cope with the people working in the office.
According to a report compiled by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on the 23rd, it is appropriate to review the labor accident insurance system from the viewpoint of improving the working environment for those who work side-by-side or part-time.
Specifically, when it is not possible to determine that a worker's accident is due to working hours at one business site alone, it is possible to make a comprehensive judgment based on the working hours and psychological load of multiple business sites, and the amount of benefits will be calculated at multiple business sites. It is determined that the wages are added together.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, based on the report of the council, will submit a revised plan such as the Industrial Accident Insurance Law to the ordinary Diet next year.
