Labor costs of 170 billion yen for bonus payment to "irregular civil servants" Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications December 27, 20:01
A new system will be launched next fiscal year to enable bonus payments to improve the treatment of "regular civil servants" working in local governments nationwide. It turned out to be in the yen. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications plans to allocate the total amount to local governments as local allocation tax.
Three years ago, the number of non-regular civil servants working as part-time or temporary staff in prefectures, municipalities, and other parts of the country was about 640,000, more than 10 years ago, an increase of about 40%.
Of these, municipalities have increased to more than 480,000, or almost one in three employees.
On the other hand, there are many cases where employees continue to work while renewing short contracts, such as six months or one year, and improving the treatment such as low monthly salary even if the content of work is the same as regular employees is an issue.
As a result, a new system will be launched next year to amend the law and provide bonuses to all "non-regular civil servants", but the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications found that the resulting labor costs were approximately 170 billion. It turned out to be in the yen.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, all municipalities are expected to pay bonuses.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has a policy of allocating approximately 170 billion yen to local governments as local allocation tax.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, "we have secured the necessary financial resources and want local governments to work on a smooth transition to the new system."
