Comprehensive Seminar on Labor Standards Inspections

The Saito Social Insurance and Labor Law Office will host an informative seminar titled "Labor Standards Office Inspections" on December 18, 2025, from 2 PM to 5 PM. This seminar aims to guide attendees through the intricacies of inspections by labor standards offices, especially in the context of ongoing labor reforms in Japan.

Why You Should Attend

Labor standards inspections can occur without prior notice, and corporations have no authority to refuse these inspections. It is crucial to understand the implications and prepare adequately for such visits. During the pandemic, the number of inspections declined; however, these numbers are now on the rise as normal operations resume. This seminar is designed to equip participants with essential knowledge to navigate the complexities of labor inspections effectively.
