April 1 marked the start of a new fiscal year in Japan, ushering in changes such as the implementation of overtime limits on truck drivers, construction workers and doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The limits, part of work-style reform efforts, are spurring worries about possible service disruptions due to labor shortages. The situation is particularly serious in the trucking industry, where the issue is called the \u201c2024 problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new regulations, based on the revised labor standards law, caps annual overtime at 960 hours for truck drivers and 720 hours for construction workers. For doctors, the limit will be set at a maximum of 1,860 hours per year depending on reasons such as the need to maintain regional medical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is feared the caps will cause shortages of workers, making it difficult to maintain services. Logistics companies Yamato Transport and Sagawa Express raised their parcel delivery fees April 1 in a bid to improve working conditions for delivery workers and counter labor shortages.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
