2025.3.25 Workers' compensation for injuries sustained during Amazon delivery
On March 19th, lawyers representing a male freelance Amazon delivery driver revealed that the Miyazaki Labour Standards Office had granted him workers' compensation certification on 28th February for an injury he sustained in March 2012 while making deliveries. The man concluded an outsourcing contract with a shipping company that delivers packages for Amazon. Although he had not been literally "a worker" in the context of outsourcing contract, he was judged as a ‘worker’ and certified as having suffered a work-related injury. One of the reasons for this decision was that his delivery location and working hours were managed through Amazon's smartphone app. This is the second case of an Amazon delivery driver being certified as a "worker" in terms of worker's compensation insurance in the country.

What Clients Have to Say About Us:
We are very fortunate to have formed excellent partnerships with our clients. Here’s what they’re saying about us.
”As a foreigner, the journey to extend my business to Japan seemed an impossible task until I met Kyoko Iwata from Iwata Labor Management Office in April 2018 at JETRO Nagoya. Right from the beginning her knowledge about business related topics in Japan helped me to have confidence and clarity about the way forward. In the years since our founding, she has provided valuable consolations and helpful advice on every occasion that helped Wenzel Designtec to move faster, saving both time and money every step of the way. Looking back on the experience, I know that we selected the right business and employment partner in Japan and I recommend them 100%.”
Mr. Frank Wenzel, CEO of Wenzel DesignTec GmBH
"We are a staffing and training services provider of global human resources with our head office located in Nagoya. Both Japanese and English are spoken in the office as our CEO is originally from Canada and the number of foreign employees almost equals the number of Japanese employees.
With this international mix, there are various challenges in this global working environment. For example, Japanese-style office regulations are hard to understand for foreign employees, and explanations of social insurance and payroll deduction are required so that they can clearly understand the payslip breakdown. Also, the understanding of how overtime is calculated.
When concluding a labor-management agreement, background information needs to be explained bilingually, which is difficult to understand even for Japanese native speakers. Furthermore, foreign employees proactively express their opinions and requests, which is good for improving various challenges, but on the other hand, it is sometimes difficult to maintain consistency of company regulations.
Under such situations, Ms. Iwata supports our business and operation by listening to our different challenges and effectively provides a variety of proposals and possible solutions during her monthly visit. As a result, we are able to share information with all employees without any loss of time thanks to her swift action, making internal operations more efficient. In addition to this, she continually shares information that is difficult to obtain ourselves, such as subsidies and system introduction for job simplification.
She is the ideal business consultant who can provide necessary information and solutions for company executives working under limited time frames. We very much appreciate Ms. Iwata's support for the continued expansion and growth of our business."
Ms. Saeko Kitamura, COO of GDI Communications Inc.
