Basic Knowledge about Social Insurance

1. Workers’ Accident Compensation Insurance
(労災保険 - Rosai Hoken -)

The Labor Standards Law stipulates an employer shall have a duty to pay an employee’s medical care expenses and temporary disability compensation when he/she is injured or suffers an illness attributed to his/her employment.
All employers, with one or more employee, whether corporate or individual proprietorship, are required to take out a policy in workers’ accident compensation insurance at their own cost.

When an employee suffers injury or illness while on work, the insurance will cover the expenses and compensation except for the compensation for the first three days of the employee’s absence, which must be borne by the employer.
Employees who sustain injury while commuting to and from work are provided with the same benefits as those offered for job-related accidents from the Workers’ Accident Compensation Insurance.

2. Employment Insurance(雇用保険 - Koyou Hoken -)

The employment insurance system provides benefits which ensure displaced employees a stable life until they find a new job.
The insurance enrollment procedures will be undertaken by employers at the unemployment office (so-called “Hello Work”).
Insurance premiums should be paid by both employer and employee, and their shares are defined respectively by law. The employee’s share is supposed to be deducted from its salary every month.

3. Health Insurance(健康保険 - Kenko Hoken -)and
Employees’ Pension Insurance(厚生年金保険 - Kosei Nenkin Hoken -)

Health insurance: When an employee who joins this insurance or its dependants suffers injury or illness, gives birth or deceases, necessary benefits will be provided.

Employees’ pension insurance: When an employee who joins this insurance reaches 65-year-old, becomes gives or deceases, necessary benefits will be provided to the employer or its bereaved family.

Health Insurance and Employees’ Pension Insurance apply to all corporations and individual offices which regularly employ 5 or more persons. Those who are required to join this insurance, are employees who work regularly for an applicable company.

The monthly premiums of Health Insurance and Employees’ Pension Insurance are determined in accordance with an employee’s wages, and are shared equally between an employer and an employee.
As an employer must pay both the shared premiums together each month, an employee’s portion should be deducted from its monthly salary and bonus.
If a foreign employee who had been a member of an Employees’ Pension Insurance for 6 months or more has returned home without receiving any pension benefits, the employee can receive a lump-sum withdrawal refund on request, which should be submitted within two years after returning home.
