Critical Reminder: Submit Your Basic Social Security Statement to Avoid Severe Penalties
As the July 10 deadline for submitting the Basic Social Security Statement approaches, businesses should be acutely aware of the risks associated with missing this crucial deadline. The Basic Social Security Statement determines annual social insurance premiums based on salaries paid in the months of April, May, and June. Submission is not just a minor administrative task; it’s a vital responsibility that impacts both the company's financial health and employees' insurance coverage for an entire year, from September to the following August.
Regrettably, amid the busy schedules of human resources departments, it's not uncommon for these submissions to slip through the cracks. Missing a submission can lead to substantial financial consequences for organizations. For instance, if salaries have increased since the last submission, they may find themselves liable for unpaid insurance premiums that date back to the time of the missed submission. This scenario can result in retroactive charges from the pension office, creating cash flow problems and potential fines.
Conversely, if salaries have decreased, organizations may continue to pay higher premiums than what is justified by their employees' current compensation. This scenario represents a loss for both the employer and the employees. If companies fail to submit their Basic Social Security Statement for an extended period, they may receive notifications or guidance from the pension office. In extreme cases, failure to comply could lead to administrative decisions that forcibly determine health insurance contributions and even criminal charges, including possible imprisonment or fines reaching up to 500,000 yen.
In light of these serious implications, the General Incorporated Association, the Claire Human Resources Development Association, has launched an educational initiative to inform businesses about the risks of non-compliance and the necessary steps to rectify any possible oversights. A key component of this initiative is a video recently made available on YouTube, which summarizes the critical aspects of the Basic Social Security Statement and emphasizes compliance.
Additionally, the association is offering a dedicated Q&A session for businesses and media representatives interested in further understanding the complexities of compliance. This free consultation will allow attendees to ask specific questions regarding notices from pension offices, the potential impact of unapplied retroactive charges, the administrative process behind forced decisions on premiums, and the legal penalties stated in the Health Insurance Act and the Employee Pension Insurance Act.
To facilitate a better understanding, participants can discuss common inquiries, such as:
The session will be led by Jun Ono, a certified labor and social security attorney with extensive experience in conducting workshops on harassment and labor issues over 400 times. His focus on practical applications of law makes him a valuable resource for organizations looking to navigate these complex requirements.
The Claire Human Resources Development Association was established in 2023 as part of the SA Group, focusing on qualifications and training regarding employment, labor, and harassment prevention. With over 750 individuals earning the Clean Employment Planner certification nationwide, the organization is making a significant impact in various sectors including businesses, local governments, and educational institutions.
For businesses looking to secure their compliance and protect themselves from impending risks, now is the time to act. Don’t let a simple oversight lead to significant penalties—engage with professionals who can guide your organization through the complexity of social security submissions.
