Work-Life Balance Support Grant: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how companies in Japan can access financial support for facilitating childcare or nursing care leave for their employees.

This grant provides financial support to companies that help their employees manage the balance between work and personal responsibilities like childcare or nursing care.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for companies that actively facilitate leave for employees who need to care for children or family members.

What you get

To receive the grant, your company must provide evidence showing that employees are successfully returning to work after their period of leave.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee mentioned to apply, though you will need to compile and submit official documentation regarding your employees' return-to-work rates.

The catch to know

You must be mindful of the timing; the window to submit your application after an employee returns to work is very narrow.

How to apply

  1. Ensure your company has the required documentation regarding employee leave and return-to-work rates.
  2. Confirm that you are within the specific application timeframe following an employee's return.
  3. Contact the relevant government body for specific filing instructions.
