## Implementing a Half-Day Paid Leave System from April 1st
J-TECH is proud to announce the introduction of a 'Half-Day Paid Leave System,' effective April 1, 2026. This initiative aims to foster a more employee-friendly work environment, complementing our existing hourly paid leave system to better support the evolving lifestyles and life stages of our team members.
### Background and Objectives
While J-TECH has previously implemented an hourly paid leave system to support flexible working, analysis of our employees' needs highlighted limitations that required a more tailored approach.
For instance, employees with elementary school-aged children often attend roughly 10 school events annually. Each event—combined with school pickup—frequently requires approximately five hours of leave, totaling 50 hours a year. Under current labor laws, the limit for hourly leave is 40 hours per year, meaning that attending school events alone exhausts this allowance, forcing employees to use their full-day paid leave in fragmented segments instead of for refreshing breaks.
Similarly, employees requiring monthly medical checkups or maintenance for chronic conditions often face a strained leave balance. This leaves little buffer for unexpected events like sudden illness or administrative procedures, keeping many in a precarious state of resource management. In response to these insights, we have introduced the half-day leave system to ensure every team member can build a stable career regardless of their personal life stage.
### Future Vision
True to our slogan, 'Technology that cares for people,' J-TECH remains committed to evolving our organization with a focus on people at the core. We strive to provide an environment where every individual can maximize their potential and thrive.
