Procedures related to labor insurance—such as workers’ compensation and employment insurance—and social insurance—such as health insurance, nursing care insurance, and welfare pension insurance—require companies to stay up to date with frequent legal revisions, as labor-related issues become more socially significant and working styles diversify.
When a company is established and hires even a single employee, it must file for workers’ compensation insurance. Depending on the working conditions of the employee, procedures for employment insurance and social insurance may also be required. Even when no employees are hired, if an officer is appointed and receives remuneration, social insurance procedures are necessary.
Failure or delay in completing the required procedures can result in missed opportunities for exemption from insurance premiums for both the company and the employee, or cause employees to be ineligible for insurance benefits—leading to potential disadvantages for both parties.
