■Working hours that managers must know! Are you protected?

■Working hours that managers must know! Are you protected?

It is important for management to improve the company's performance, but it is also necessary to consider employees. One of them is working hours. Management must understand and protect the working hours of employees. In this article, we will explain the labor standards that the manager should know, and also introduce the rules for overtime and rules for each system.

 

 

1. Working hours of the Labor Standards Law

Even a company with good performance is not allowed to have employees work long -term. Employee overwork death is a problem, and as a result, there are cases where the company is to be involved in the survival of the company. The Labor Standards Law stipulates that management should not work more than 40 hours a day, eight hours a day, as a general rule. If you work more, you must pay an extra wage. The wages for working hours, 8 hours a day, more than 40 hours a week, are calculated by "overtime hours (hours) x wages per hour (yen unit) x 1.25".

 

2. If you have overtime, a report of 36 agreements is required

In many cases, the company's managers have been working overtime, despite being determined that employees should not work more than 40 hours a week, more than 40 hours a week. In fact, under the Labor Standards Law, if the manager reports 36 agreements to the Labor Standards Director, the employees can work overtime, that is, overtime. On top of that, you must pay the extra wages mentioned above. The 36 agreements include the content of the content that the employees work beyond the statutory time beyond the statutory time, and the content must be concluded with the union or employee representatives in advance.

If the manager asks employees to work overtime (overtime) without submitting a 36 agreement, they will violate the Labor Standards Law. Penalties have been imprisoned for less than 6 months or fines of 300,000 yen or less. Even if you pay overtime, if you do not report the 36 agreements, it will be a violation, so be careful.

 

3. Rules of working hours by system

Employee working hours are one of the important items to learn. There are various things in Japan's working hours system. From now on, we will introduce four labor systems.

 

3-1. Flext time

Until now, many companies have decided on employee working hours in many companies, but the work style that allows employees to determine their work and start hours is called flextime. Unlike the past, it is a system that has been established that various formats are needed in the way of working because the number of people's lives has increased. A major feature of flextime is that the introduction can work beyond the legal working hours of 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. The liquidation period within one month and the total working hours within that period are determined in advance.

If you do not exceed the contract time within the settlement period, you can work more than 8 hours a day or more than 40 hours a week. Management does not need to pay overtime allowance to employees who work more than 8 hours a day within this period. Since you can set the working hours freely, it has the advantage that mothers and others can easily adjust child care. However, it is necessary to be careful because if you do not properly manage yourself, you may not be able to work.

 

3-2. Intracting labor system

Among the various tasks, there are cases where it is better to leave the method of execution and time allocation to employees, such as the development of new products and new technology and the design of information processing systems. In such a case, a good system to introduce is the discretionary labor system. Until now, it was usually to pay an extra wage if the manager decides working hours and overtime work is performed. However, in the discretionary labor system, it is considered that he worked for a certain period of time, regardless of the time he actually worked on a specific work. If there is time exceeding the statutory working hours as working hours, not working hours, the company will pay extra wages.

 

3-3. Manager

Managers (managers) must work and work for the company regardless of time or holidays. This is because there is a condition that you can freely decide your work hours yourself and have a very high salary than other employees, and have the right to be close to the manager. It is not recognized as a legal manager (management supervisor) if any of the three conditions, such as not having the authority to decide on their own working hours. In that case, the company is obliged to pay overtime pay.

 

3-4. Deformed working hours system

Taxis and truck drivers have a prosperity and off -season, and there are cases where working hours increase or decrease. The best thing for these occupations is the deformed working hours system. This is a way of working that does not require overtime work by adjusting working hours in a month or one year. Even in this case, if the owner works beyond working hours determined by the law, he must pay overtime.

 

 

Let's manage the labor standards well

As labor forms are diversified, managers must understand each system and manage the correct labor standard environment. Management is required to determine everything about the business itself and the fund distribution, and to improve the working environment for employees. First of all, why not hire a driver or secretary to improve your own working environment?

■Is it okay to ask for shopping? What is the scope of work of executive drivers?

■Is it okay to ask for shopping? What is the scope of work of executive drivers?

It is common for large companies to own an executive car and hire an executive driver. What is worrisome is the scope of work of executive drivers. For example, is it okay to ask for shopping? Therefore, we have summarized the scope of work of executive drivers.

 

 

■ Basic work is from driving to vehicle management

First, let's understand that the basic duties of an officer driver are from driving to vehicle management. The day's work begins with the pick-up at the officer's home. At night, they are often delivered to their homes after dinner. You can also request work on holidays when an officer goes to a business partner or has golf. In addition to safe driving, vehicle management is also important to maintain the image of an officer's vehicle. Regardless of whether the car is stored indoors or not, it is also a business to keep it shiny at all times. In addition to performing start-up inspections and maintenance before leaving the car in the morning, it is also the driver's job to pay close attention to dirt inside and outside the car. When officers do not use the car, it is common to have them wait in the driver's waiting room.

 

■ Some chores can be done

An executive driver is the job of supporting an executive through driving a car. In addition, since we often guide officers to our business partners, it is ideal for someone who can build good relationships with them. In general, younger hires may be better, but for this industry, some older people are preferable. The work content varies from company to company, but you can ask for some chores. For example, you may have an officer wait in the parking lot while shopping, or you may have an officer do the shopping for you. By the way, "exclusive driver" may include "general affairs / miscellaneous work included" and "shopping / outing transfer to central Tokyo", so please contact the temporary staffing company before requesting. It's a good idea to consult.

 

■ In case of dispatch, let's consult with the dispatch company

Having an officer's car is not only convenient for officers to carry out their daily work, but it is also important for maintaining a good image externally. In addition, the form of hiring temporary staff who can request only when necessary to save costs is attracting attention. We recommend that you consult with the temporary staffing agency regarding the specific work content. In addition, since the work content is also posted in the company guide for dispatching executive drivers, it can be used as a reference when considering a request. You can request a driver from a short term to a long term, but if you have many opportunities to use an officer's car, you have the option of hiring a dedicated driver. This is because there is a possibility that it will be more profitable in terms of cost, and there are also great advantages such as establishing a relationship of trust with the driver.

■For health care! Thorough explanation of the regulations set for drivers

■For health care! Thorough explanation of the regulations set for drivers

Since the body is the capital for the driver, health management is more important than other industries. It will be difficult if you repeatedly drive for a long time and cause an accident due to poor physical condition. To prevent this from happening, you will need to have a good understanding of the appropriate working hours for your driver. This article summarizes the rules for protecting the health of drivers and the points to maintain their health.

 

 

1 Health management regulations

In this paragraph, we will explain the driver's health management regulations such as continuous driving time, restraint time, rest / holidays, etc.

 

1-1 Continuous possible operation time

The driver's continuous driving time is 4 hours. In other words, if you continue to drive for more than 4 hours, you should immediately have a break of 30 minutes or more. It is possible to divide the break time into 30 minutes, but if you stop driving within 4 hours, you need at least 10 minutes for each break. You can take three 10-minute breaks during the four-hour period, or you can take two 15-minute breaks. Observe the rules for continuous operating hours and take a break depending on the work situation.

 

1-2 2days average operating time

As a long-distance driver, it will often be difficult to determine the daily driving time. Therefore, the limit is set by the average operating time for two days. The average driving time for two days is set at 9 hours and the driver cannot exceed this. Also, this does not mean that you can drive for 9 hours in a row, and it is essential to have a break in between.

 

1-3 Restraint time

The maximum driver restraint time is 13 hours. Depending on the situation, the upper limit can be 16 hours, but detention for more than 15 hours is limited to twice a week. If you drive for a long time, it may take more than 15 hours one way. However, such a response is only possible twice a week. The time is clear for route delivery that runs within a fixed range, but long-distance drivers who do not have to be careful about restraint time.

 

1-4 Rest / holiday

Rest and holiday are similar words at first glance, but there is a clear difference between them. The rest period is the free time you have before you get to your next job. The rest period is required to be at least 8 hours a day and cannot be divided. It is not possible to take it twice in 4 hours, but it will be given for 8 consecutive hours. Holidays are defined as holidays that are longer than the rest period. Holidays are rested for 24 hours plus the rest period. It is a rule that holidays should not be less than 30 hours under any circumstances.

 

1-5 Health check

The driver is obliged to undergo a medical examination. First, you will have a medical examination to prove that you are in good health when you are hired. After that, it is a regular health checkup. The content of the regular health checkup should be based on the image of a general health checkup. In addition, if you are engaged in late-night work, a health checkup will be conducted for specific work employees. Keep in mind that this applies to drivers who work late at night.

 

2 Health management that the driver can do by himself

This paragraph describes how drivers can manage their own health. First is the eating habits. Drivers tend to eat irregularly, and relying solely on the service area can lead to poor nutritional balance. As a countermeasure, drink vegetable juice regularly and be aware of a well-balanced diet on holidays. Good sleep is also essential for maintaining the health of the driver. If you have irregular or insufficient sleep time, you may have "sleep apnea syndrome" that makes you sleepy suddenly while driving. You should also do as much exercise as you can. Especially for long-term drivers, blood circulation tends to get worse, so exercise to prevent it is meaningful.

 

 

Follow the rules!

It is common for drivers to be in an accident because of their poor health. Even if you are a veteran driver, it can be quite dangerous to work while you are in poor physical condition. It is important to always be careful about your health care. If you adhere to the regulations and be aware of your own health care, the risk of getting sick will be greatly reduced.

■What is the stress countermeasure for management?

200320090744-5e7409501b965.jpg

Management tends to be stressed on a daily basis, such as the pressure of "having to do business," and the challenges of funding and securing human resources. Therefore, it is important to actively take stress countermeasures, but in many cases you do not know what to do. This article specifically explains the stress that managers often feel after entrepreneurship and how to relieve those stresses.

 

 

1. What is the stress that the manager feels?

If you are an employee of a company, it is easy to switch on and off if you leave the workplace, but if you become a manager, everyday life tends to be the company's center. In particular, for one to three years after starting a business, there are many managers who say that they were so busy that they could not secure time to sleep. In many cases, it is difficult to say that it is inevitable before you start a business, but if you can not secure sleep time, it will be difficult to take time to change your mind, and as a result it will be easier to accumulate stress. 

Especially stressful accumulation is the fields and relationships related to business performance. Managers are the top of the company, and in many cases they sacrifice their time to achieve their performance. In addition, from the perspective of the decision -making person, the management is considerable. Regarding human relationships, as a result of priority on the profits of the company, the burden on employees increases, and the relationship with employees is often lost, so it is essential to take measures against such stress.

 

2. Stress measures for managers that can be done right now

In order to relieve stress well, it is important to look for a way to suit you, improve your life rhythm, review your mindset, and practice it from familiar things. In some cases, the help of an expert is also effective. Here, we will introduce the stress countermeasures of the president that can be done right now.

 

2-1. Find a stress relief method that suits you

The important thing in considering stress measures is to find a stress relief method that suits you. However, smoking and excessive drinking can be more likely to lead to unhealthy habits, even if they are aimed at relieving stress. In the long term, the possibility of hindering health cannot be denied. Therefore, we recommend a healthy stress relief method. Moreover, it is important to find an easy way to do it. That makes it easier to release stress on a daily basis.

For example, it is also effective to incorporate light exercises in your life. Exercise improves your mood and leads to health promotion. Even if you can't go to the gym, you can start with a small thing, such as getting off at the station in front of you. If you have a lot of time, you can expect a refreshing effect on your trip. In addition, creating time to immerse yourself in your hobbies, such as reading and watching movies, can also help stress.

 

2-2. Raise your life rhythm

Regular life is indispensable not only for stress measures but also for maintaining physical and mental health. To keep a healthy body and rest your brain, you need a moderate sleep time. Even if you continue to work in a lack of sleep, you will be in poor efficiency. It is also important to secure the meal time. If you miss a meal, your life rhythm may be disturbed, and if your nutritional condition is poor, you will have a bad effect on your health. It is important to review whether you have the necessary time to live.

 

2-3. Change your mindset

In order not to be stressed, you need to change your mind. Management must consider various issues, such as business strategies, human resources, and cash flow, but it is important to keep as positive as possible. If you think negatively, your thoughts will be visible and your horizons will narrow, and your mood tends to depress. Thinking positively makes you feel easier and easier to find solutions. Rather than thinking "I couldn't achieve my goals," always make a positive thinking, such as "I could do this."

 

2-4. Consultation with experts

If you can't realize the effect even if you try your own stress relief method, consulting with an expert is one of the options. Even if you hold it alone, the problem will not be solved. It is important to consult an expert before the management of the manager himself grows and find a solution. Listening to a third party about your worries can reduce stress itself. If you have an external consultation desk for employees, you may use the window.

 

 

Let's create time to review your lifestyle and relieve stress

In order to create time to relieve stress, it is also effective to use outsourcing drivers and secretary dispatch. Doing so makes it easier to secure time to use freely every busy day. The Trans Act Group is a company that dispatches drivers and secretaries that are optimal for the company. Ensuring private time can help you for mental care for managers. Why don't you consider outsourcing drivers and secretary dispatch.

■The job of an executive secretary! What is the difference between a personal assistant and a group

■The job of an executive secretary! What is the difference between a personal assistant and a group

There are two types of executive secretaries: "individual secretaries" who support officers by themselves and "group secretaries" who support officers by multiple people. There is also a way of thinking that the group secretary is in charge of the department of the company. Here, we have summarized the characteristics of those jobs.

 

 

■ Recommended for general companies! Group secretary

There are various forms of employment as a "secretary", but it seems that it often means "executive secretary". It is recommended to assign a group secretary to general companies. In particular, becoming an executive secretary of a large company requires a huge amount of work, which makes it difficult for one person to handle it. Therefore, it is desirable that the personnel assigned to the "Secretary Division" and "Secretary Office" form a team to support the officers. The work of a secretary is wide-ranging, such as dealing with visitors and dealing with business partners, managing the schedule of officers, writing daily documents, and preparing for a general meeting of stocks. In addition to the full-time hiring method for professionals, there are also cases where a secretary is assigned as a secretary after joining the company. In addition, the method of hiring as a temporary worker is also attracting attention.

 

■ Recommended for law firms and university professors! Personal assistant

On the other hand, personal assistants are recommended for law firms and university professors. Ideally, you should have a high level of work knowledge to hire a personal assistant. Of course, it goes without saying that they have the skills to support external activities. For example, a law firm's personal assistant must be familiar with the duties of an attorney and be able to provide extensive support, including external paperwork. At major law firms, there are paralegals that specialize in legal affairs. We also recommend a personal assistant as a university professor's secretary. The work content can cover general office work, including the preparation of research fund application documents. In addition, it depends on the professor's area of ​​expertise and the requirements of the professor for his secretary.

 

■ Use properly according to the purpose!

There are two types of secretarial work, individual secretaries and group secretaries, which are hired according to each department. For this reason, group secretaries are recommended for general companies, but foreign-affiliated companies also have many individual secretaries. Also, when hiring a secretary, it is important to decide what kind of use you want. By doing so, the direction to be adopted will be decided. You don't need any special qualifications to become a secretary, but there are some qualifications that give you a job advantage. One of them is the "secretary test", which can be expected to be effectively used not only as a secretary but also in many workplaces including general clerical workers. There is also a known "medical secretary skill test" that supports doctors. In addition, since a lot of secretary's job information is posted on the site related to temporary staff, we recommend that you refer to it when hiring.
