I work for one of these 'Hakkengaisha' that distribute ALT's to public schools. Today I received a threat from the general manager of the company that if I did not file certain school related paperwork (paperwork not covered in my contract) by the end of the week, my pay for December (payed mid Jan.) would be withheld. This is not a problem for me, as I will have the paperwork in by Thurs. afternoon. Still, I'm PO'ed by the threat. Enough to call the Labor Standards Bureau?--not quite yet... but I am strongly considering.
Does anyone out there know about the legality of this? Can J-companies actually get away with this? Under what circumstances? I checked the Labor Standards Law (article 24), which goes as far as to say that companies must pay for hours worked, but it says nothing in regards to employee infractions. Anyone else been threatened like this?
