Comparison of UK, Japan & US Employment Law - key points on employment contracts

3CS Corporate Solicitors and Dojima Law Office held a joint webinar in March this year on the topic of Overseas Expansion under Covid-19.

This second joint webinar focused on the early stages of employing staff, from recruitment to employment, and provided an overview of the legal and practical aspects of employment law relevant to this process.

By comparing the UK, Japan and the US on this common topic, we hope that you would be able to identify the key points and pitfalls when recruiting local staff overseas, as well as the differences between your country and other countries, and good opportunities for you to review your own recruitment practices.

Hiroko from 3CS Corporate Solicitors discussed the UK, Kenichi from Dojima Law Offices discussed Japan, and Yoshiki from Dojima Law Offices discussed the US.

Topics to be covered in this webinar included:

• Recruitment – interview/information
• Terms and conditions of employment
• Changing role
• Working time regulations
• Overtime payments
• Holidays, sickness and other types of leave
• The right to equal pay for equal work・Minimum wages
