Japanese Life Rules That Might Seem Foreign To Visitors

Working Extra Doesn't Always Equal Extra Pay

Japan boasts some of the highest levels of production in the world because people take their jobs very seriously. This also implies that workers sometimes have to work extra hours without getting paid for them. The government has tried to stop this and other work-related problems in the past few years, but they still seem to be a problem and probably won't go away anytime soon.

In Japan, workers are legally entitled to extra pay, and their overtime hours can't go over a set limit. However, many employers don't respect these rules.
