The legal portal site Bengo4.com reported last week that the Central Labor Relations Committee’s Labor Standards Inspection Office recommended corrective action to Japanese media company Toei in response to the company’s alleged practice of working employees beyond legal limits and failing to provide proper overtime pay to employees.
The assistant producer also claimed that work hours in the company would regularly exceed 13 hours a day.
A female Toei assistant producer, along with the Sōgo Support Union labor union, announced the committee’s recommendation in a press conference last Thursday.
The assistant producer also alleged in that announcement that she was sexually harassed, claiming that a freelance employee touched her inappropriately.
