Isi artikel

In Japan, the Part-Time Work Act was enacted in 1993 with the purpose of promoting improvements in the treatment of persons engaged in part-time labor. While this act was not meant to impose legal restrictions on employers, it underwent major revision with the legislation approved in May 2007, against a backdrop of the quantitative increases and qualitative changes in part-time workers in recent years (the revised version of the Act has been in force since April 1, 2008). The Revised Part-Time Work Act represents a step forward in furnishing essential legal regulation relating to the treatment of part-time workers. It strengthens the obligations of business operators with regard to the elucidation of labor conditions, the provision of balanced treatment and the conversion of part-time workers to full-time workers, with penal provisions introduced in connection with certain stipulations. The Act notably bans the discrimination against part-time workers who fulfill certain conditions in comparison to full-time workers. Parts I and II of this article introduce the background and contents of the revised Act. Part III examines the proper approach to rules banning discrimination on grounds of being a part-time worker, and Part IV examines the revised Act from the perspective of legislative policy.
