We provide extensive payroll and social insurance support services for foreign and foreign-affiliated companies. We understand well the situation of those who operate their companies in Japan, and will offer the best appropriate service to them through either consulting or outsourcing.

HR and labor consulting/Proxy services for social insurance and labor insurance procedures

If managers or employees carry out such as social insurance and labor insurance administrative procedures, the current situation is that more time is required due to Japan’s unfamiliar paperwork. Additionally, having staff members handle general personnel affairs may cause companies to incur additional costs for hiring and training personnel. Retirement of staff in-charge of HR affairs may also cause disruptions in company operations. At our office, a professional social insurance consultant from our team will prepare documents and social insurance and labor insurance procedures.

Payroll calculation, time management, payslip preparation outsourcing

While payroll calculation is a task that can be done in a short period of time, the calculation of salary due and the necessary deductions is complicated. In addition, labor and social insurance laws and regulations such as the Labor Standards Act and the Act on the Collection, etc. of Insurance Premiums of Labor Insurance, and related laws and regulations such as the Income Tax Law are frequently revised, which places a considerable burden on companies to continuously comply. With proper understanding of Japan’s social insurance system, it is actually possible to reduce the insurance premiums due. With the outsourcing services our company offers, companies in Japan can instead focus on the improvement of the efficiency of their business operations rather than social insurance’s complicated affairs.

Proxy services for grant and subsidy application
