Understanding Wage Regulations to Avoid Lawsuits: Seminar on Wage System Construction

Seminar Overview

On July 17, 2025, from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM (JST), Funaisoken Logistics Corporation will host the fourth edition of its online seminar titled 'Avoiding Unpaid Wage Lawsuits and Employee Turnover: Wage System Construction 2025'. This seminar is specifically designed for executives and management personnel in the transport sector, focusing on the critical challenges posed by wage regulations and employee retention.

The Importance of Proper Wage Systems

The logistics industry is currently facing legal challenges related to wage compensation, particularly regarding the increased scrutiny of commission-based pay structures. It has become evident that many companies may not comply with the legal requirements of a performance-based pay system. As a result, they might be liable for significant unpaid overtime wages, posing a substantial risk to their business operations.

Not only can unpaid wage lawsuits lead to hefty compensations, but they can also tarnish a company’s reputation and drive away talented employees. Thus, understanding the intricacies of wage regulations and how to effectively construct a wage system that ensures compliance and employee satisfaction is crucial for any transport business.

Seminar Content

During this seminar, attendees will learn how to avoid such risks and ensure stable operations by implementing effective wage systems. The agenda includes:

1. Proper Responses to Unpaid Wage Lawsuits

- Understanding the implications of unpaid wage lawsuits and strategies for proper handling, while avoiding actions that could trigger subsequent lawsuits.
- Guidance on how to modify existing pay structures to minimize damage and transition smoothly to compliant systems.

2. Tailoring a Wage System for Your Company

- Identifying alternative compensation methods when commission pay is deemed inappropriate, ensuring competitive and lawful remuneration.
- Resolving common issues such as non-compliance with dispatch instructions, reluctance to perform overtime work, and managing payroll increases for less productive employees through well-defined HR systems.

3. Real-time Solutions for Current Industry Challenges
