Japan Paid Annual Leave Calculator (Yukyu Kyuka)
Paid annual leave in Japan: 10 days after 6 months up to 20 days after 6.5 years, and the proportional days for part-time staff, under the Labor Standards Act.
Leave is granted each year on the anniversary if attendance in the previous period was 80% or more; unused days carry over for 2 years. Employers must make sure 5 days are taken each year by anyone granted 10 or more.
What it does
Under article 39 of the Labor Standards Act, an employee in Japan receives 10 days of paid leave after 6 months of continuous service with 80% attendance, then 11, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 days every year from 1.5 to 6.5 years. Part-time staff working 4 days a week or fewer and under 30 hours get proportionally fewer days.
