Standard-Arbeitswoche

Japan's standard work week is Monday–Friday, 8 hours per day (typically 9:00–18:00 with 1-hour lunch). Under the Labor Standards Act, weekly working hours must not exceed 40.

Überstundenkultur & Rechtliche Konformität

Japan has a strong overtime culture, but since the 2018 Work Style Reform Act, statutory overtime is capped at 45 hours/month and 360 hours/year (up to 100 hours/month in busy periods). Exceeding limits is illegal with employer penalties. Cross-border businesses should note supplier overtime compliance.

Rechtsgrundlage

Japanese public holidays are defined by the Law Concerning National Holidays (国民の祝日に関する法律), currently 16 days. The "Golden Week" in late April to early May is formed by four consecutive holidays and is one of Japan's longest breaks.
