Caregiving Leave System

The eligibility requirements for caregiving leave have been relaxed, making the system easier to use. We encourage you to take advantage of these arrangements to help balance work and caregiving responsibilities.
Details of the caregiving leave system vary depending on employment status and working hours. For further information, please contact the personnel office of your respective department or unit.

Support for Caregiving
・Employees may apply for exemption from overtime work during the caregiving period.
