2. Procedures at the time of employment
l Procedures to enroll in social insurances
To have a newly-employed worker enrolled in the social insurances, please note the following :
* His/her classification in the social insurances is determined dependent on his/her monthly salary including overtime pay. In the case the classification based on the average salary for the first three months after enrollment is different from the classification determined at the time of enrollment by two grades or more, the latter classification must be corrected.
* If the worker has declared a family member as a dependent, please confirm the following point.
A family member with an annual income of 1.3 million yen or more (1.8 million yen or more for a family member of 60 years of age or older) is not eligible for dependent status. The worker's parents are eligible for dependent status when they satisfy the income requirements mentioned above and live with the worker.
Collection of contribution when a worker becomes eligible for social insurances
A worker is obliged to pay social insurance contributions effective from the month he/she becomes eligible for such insurances. However, it is stipulated that the contributions should be deducted from the worker's salary paid in the following month. In other words, social insurance contributions paid by a worker are deducted from his/her salary of the month following his/her employment irrespective of the date thereof.
l Procedures to join the employment insurance system
The employment insurance contribution (to be paid by the worker) will be deducted from his/her salary at each time of its payment after the worker becomes an insured party, irrespective of the date of his/her qualification or disqualification.
