Specific skills (SSW)
About salary and benefits

“How much money can I earn per month if I work in Japan?” “Can I save money?”
I think this is what everyone is most concerned about.
Specific skills (SSW) are the same as Japanese people,
It is a secure visa where the law stipulates that you will receive a higher salary.
We will explain in detail the salary structure and the support that MirocStaff can provide.

Salary for specific skills: 3 points of peace of mind

  1. Same (or higher) salary as Japanese people

    Companies are obligated to pay Japanese employees the same or higher salary than Japanese employees doing the same work.

  2. Full overtime pay

    If you work more than the set number of hours (e.g. 8 hours a day), you will be paid extra pay (overtime pay).

  3. Opportunities for raises and bonuses

    Many companies offer “raises” that increase your salary depending on how hard you work, and “bonuses” that give you extra money once or twice a year.

How much money actually goes into your bank account?

The amount after taxes and insurance premiums are deducted from your salary (total amount paid) is called your “take home pay.”
