  • A note on the gender pay gap
    Wages include regular wages, overtime allowances, bonuses, etc., but exclude retirement allowances, commuting allowances, etc.
    Regular employees include employees seconded to our company from outside the company whose salaries are paid by our company, but exclude employees seconded from our company outside the company.
    In addition, non-regular employees are rehired employees after retirement, excluding contract employees and dispatched employees.
    The wage gap between men and women is due to differences in the average age and length of service between men and women, as well as differences in occupations (including administrative assistants).
