The
laws and regulations covering work hours presently
set eight hours per day and 40 hours per week
as the upper limit, in principle. However,
flexible systems for work hours are becoming
more and more common. The provisions in the
Labour Standards Law regarding work hours
state that the number of work hours shall
be based on the actual number of hours worked,
in principle, and that the employer is responsible
for keeping track of the normal number of
work hours.
