This paper examines working hour regulations and accident compensation with particular focus on work outside the workplace (WOW) and working at home, as increasingly relevant workplace formats. In terms of working hour regulations, systems of de facto working hours for WOW under the Labor Standards Act can be applied to both of these formats. However, since these are working formats that dilute the authority of the employer, there is the reality (or fear) of a trend towards longer working hours, as well as the problems associated with this. Thus, the author states that standards for upper limits should be applied to and established for work beyond statutory hours even when applying de facto working hour systems, and that health maintenance measures by employers should be prescribed. On the other hand, the author also states that the duty of employers to manage and keep track of hours worked should be distinct from whether or not de facto working hour systems can be applied, and should be aimed at preventing long working hours and maintaining health. On the subject of accident compensation, meanwhile, working at home, in particular, is a working format not envisaged by the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act, and therefore has no precedent. Accidents unique to working at home should be anticipated and studied in practical detail.
