In Japan, according to the Labour Standards Act, if an employee works on a national holiday, they are entitled to an extra day off or an additional 35% pay on top of their regular wage. If the national holiday falls on a weekly off day (in your case, Sunday), the law stipulates that the employer must provide a substitute holiday. If the worker does not take the substitute holiday, the employer should pay an extra 35% of the worker's regular wage.
Here are the steps you should follow:
- Check the employee's regular daily wage.
- Calculate an additional 35% on top of the daily wage.
- Add this to the employee's total payment for the month.
Remember, the employee also has the right to take a substitute day off if they worked on a national holiday that fell on their weekly off day. If the employee chooses to take a substitute holiday, you don't have to pay the extra 35%.
Please note that these laws may vary slightly depending on the type of industry and the size of the business, so it's always a good idea to refer to a legal professional or the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare for more precise information. Here is the link to the English version of their website: http://www.mhlw.go.jp/english/
Remember, treating your employees fairly and ensuring they are compensated appropriately for their work not only complies with the law but also contributes to a positive work environment. 🍻 Please check the relevant labor laws regularly to stay updated.
