Consultation on labor concerns Nationwide telephone counseling until 5 pm on the 1st November 1st 12:27
As the working environment changes drastically due to the introduction of telework due to the influence of the new coronavirus, free telephone counseling sessions are being held all over the country to respond to labor-related problems such as long working hours and dismissals.
This telephone counseling session is held at eight labor bureaus nationwide during this month's Karoshi Prevention Month. Of these, the Mita Labor Standards Inspection Office in Minato-ku, Tokyo has 12 labor standards. The supervisor is available for consultation.
The phone started ringing at the same time as the reception started at 9 am, and a woman in her 30s asked me, "I don't know what to do when my boss asks me to quit my job because the company's management has deteriorated." In addition, a woman in her thirties said, "My husband is in charge of accounting and human resources, but many employees have become remote work due to the influence of the new corona, and overtime work and holiday work have increased due to the response, and I am in good physical condition. I'm worried. "
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, in March and April of this year, due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, long working hours in the medical / welfare and transportation industries became more than 80 hours a week. It means that the percentage of people exceeded last year.
Koji Yasuda, chief of the supervision section of the Tokyo Labor Bureau, said, "In some industries, there are many consultations about long working hours and dismissals due to the corona sickness. I want you to call me. "
The telephone consultation number is 0120-794-713, which is common throughout Japan, and is accepted until 5 pm on the 1st.
