Japanese Social Insurance Service and Payroll Service

- Payroll Calculation Service
The calculation of the social insurance and employees?salary are closely related to Labour Standards Law and Tax Law. It is a time-sensitive work that needs to be handled in a professional manner. Since the payroll is confidential, it is usually administered by the manager or trusted employees. By delegating the cumbersome work to Kaizen, client could focus on the company business itself without hassles.
