Understanding and Using Paid Leave

**What is Paid Leave?** In Japan, workers are guaranteed a certain number of paid leave days per year. A key feature of this leave is that you can take it without needing your employer's permission. **Eligibility Conditions** Generally, you must have worked at the same workplace for at least 6 months and have an attendance rate of 80% or higher. Once these conditions are met, annual paid leave will be granted to you. **How to Use Paid Leave** Paid leave can be used freely for any purpose, but it is common practice to submit a request in advance. You can use it for travel, sudden personal matters, or anything else you need. --- Source: 厚生労働省 "労働条件・外国人雇用関連情報" https://www.check-roudou.mhlw.go.jp/ This article was reorganized by ＳＩＡデジタルテクノロジー株式会社 based on the above source. ※This language version is a machine translation from the Japanese version (ＳＩＡデジタルテクノロジー株式会社).
