New 'Dependency Wall Diagnosis' Feature Added to 'Shift Techo byGMO' to Easily Help Part-Time Workers

GMO TownWiFi Inc., a GMO Internet Group company, has launched the new 'Dependency Wall Diagnosis' feature in its shift management and salary calculation app, 'Shift Techo byGMO,' effective May 20, 2026. This feature clarifies the complex rules regarding dependency in an easy-to-understand Q&A format, allowing users to identify which income thresholds (such as 1.06 million, 1.12 million, 1.30 million, or 1.60 million yen) apply to them. Additionally, an 'Actual Salary Input' feature has been added to help users track annual income progress and remaining balances against their dependency limits.

[Background of Service Launch]
For part-time workers, the 'dependency wall' is a crucial factor influencing work styles. However, because income criteria vary by workplace and employment type, many users have reported not knowing which 'wall' concerns them. This often leads to missed income opportunities.

'Shift Techo byGMO' developed this diagnostic feature to help users identify their applicable 'dependency wall' by simply answering questions. Combined with the 'Actual Salary Input' feature, which allows for manual correction of estimated earnings, the app now provides an integrated system for annual income management, insurance premium estimation, and shift monitoring.

[About the 'Dependency Wall Diagnosis']
Feature 1: Instantly know your 'dependency wall' by answering questions. Users can check their estimated income threshold based on their individual situation.

Feature 2: Real-time management of annual income progress via charts. Monthly income trends are displayed to show remaining balances at a glance.

Feature 3: Improved accuracy through actual salary input. By entering actual received salary amounts, users can correct discrepancies from shift estimates, providing more accurate data for shift adjustments.
