Tokyo travel agency "World Aviation Service", of which Jungo Kikuma (69), chairman of the Japan Association of Travel Agents, serves as the representative director, submitted a lie document to the country that pretended to be resting employees from last year and hired it. NHK's interview revealed that it was suspected that it had illegally received an adjustment grant of at least about 70 million yen.

Actually, it is said that many employees have been working since July last year, but the method of settlement is to transfer cash from the transfer to the account so that the company does not keep a record of transportation expenses associated with the work on the system. Interviews with related parties revealed that there was a suspicion that the product was handed over.

Originally, the commuter pass fee for the train was paid every six months, but after it was treated as a holiday, the details of the transportation expenses incurred were pasted on paper and submitted, and the person in charge directly gave cash. It means that you have come to receive it.

The company said to NHK that it was "confirming the facts and cannot comment", and would like to announce the results of the investigation by the third-party committee as soon as they are finalized.

Persons concerned Handling of transportation expenses "I thought it was strange"

According to the people concerned, the employees originally settled the expenses on the in-house system, and for the transportation expenses, the train commuter pass fee was transferred from the company to each account every six months based on the bill.

However, after being treated as a leave of absence, my boss instructed me to use a shared IC card prepared by the company, and the details of the amount charged and used were pasted on paper and submitted each time. about it.

Settlement has changed from transfer to cash delivery, and it means that you can go to the counter in charge and receive it directly.

The person concerned said, "I found it annoying to hand over cash, but at first I was commuting irregularly, so I thought that buying a commuter pass would increase the burden on the company. However, I go to work every day. I thought it was strange because the method did not change even after July last year. When I told the company, I was told that "it's okay as it is", but now I think about the traces of employees who are treated as taking leave. I think I was trying not to leave it. "
