Employees' pension Proposal to eliminate company-wide conditions to promote the participation of short-time workers September 20, 14:54
In order to promote participation in the Employees' Pension for short-time workers who work in part-time workers, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's round-table conference will abolish the conditions of the company size to be applied while also considering the companies that bear insurance premiums. So we have put together a proposal to expand the application.
According to the recommendations compiled by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, which is organized by economic organizations and federations, at the meeting on the 20th, the company size is currently more than 501 employees, which is a condition for participation in the employees' pension for short-time workers. "It should be abolished" as "It is unreasonable to handle differently depending on the size of the company."
On top of that, as work styles diversify, reviewing the scope of application is a request of the times, and we are requesting that the application be expanded.
On the other hand, since the company pays half of the insurance premium, he points out that consideration and support measures for the company are necessary, such as easing the conditions in stages. In addition, alleviation of working hours of more than 20 hours a week and monthly income conditions of more than 88,000 yen may lead to restrained work, and so on.
The expanded application of the Employees' Pension is expected to be reflected in discussions at the subcommittee of the Social Security Council.
