A total of 14 hourly contract workers at Japan Post appealed the disparity between them and full-time employees regarding benefits and leave systems, and the Supreme Court ruled on October 15 that five treatment differences, including alimony, were unreasonable in three court cases.
-The gist of the Supreme Court's decision-
While it is respected as a business decision to provide alimony or paid sick leave to ensure continuous service for full-time employees, it is an unreasonable disparity within the meaning of Article 20 of the Labor Contract Act not to provide it to contract employees who are expected to work a reasonable amount of continuous service.
It is an unreasonable disparity that contract employees are not paid holiday pay at the beginning and end of the year, which is compensation for their work during the busiest season.
It is an unreasonable disparity to deny summer and winter leave to contract employees who are not on a short-term assignment for the busy season only.
