Employment Types - CSV

Employment types refer to the forms of labor contracts established between workers and employers (companies). In Japan, various forms exist including full-time employees (indefinite-term employment), contract employees (fixed-term employment), temporary agency workers (indirect employment), part-time workers, and freelancers/independent contractors. Each type differs in the scope of application of labor laws such as the Labor Standards Act, Worker Dispatching Act, and Part-Time and Fixed-Term Employment Act, as well as social insurance eligibility and employee benefits, making it an important concept for worker rights protection and corporate human resource management.
