Dear JREF forum,
I began working for an eikaiwa in March 2020 and last week my boss informed me that he would not be renewing my contract when the current one ends at the end of March 2021.
I immediately started looking for jobs and managed to find one with a new company even given the current climate, however they would like me to start in January.
I asked my boss if it would be possible to do so, but he said that the only option was for me to finish my contract and early termination would not be possible.
I completely understand his position, and am thankful to him for the 3 months notice he gave me. However, the fact of the matter is I need to eat, pay rent and I need a visa to stay in Japan, and in the real working world new jobs don't start precisely when current jobs end!
Does anyone know if there is a legal obligatory period of notice that I need to give my current job?
Thank you very much in advance for any help or pointing in the right direction you can give me.
