Work Rules Amendment Process and Updating WorkVell Settings

Follow the legal steps for amending work rules (employee consultation and filing) and reflect changes in WorkVell.

[Legal steps for amending work rules]

(1) Consult employee representative

- For workplaces with 10+ employees, you must obtain the opinion of the majority union (or majority representative) before amending work rules

- Prepare and keep a written opinion document

(2) File with Labor Standards Inspection Office

- Submit amended work rules and the opinion document to the appropriate office

(3) Inform employees

- Legally required to notify all employees of the changes

- Use WorkVell announcements or digital bulletin board

[Caution on unfavorable changes]

Changes that disadvantage employees require strong justification.

Reductions in wages, severance, or leave days require extra care.

Always consult a licensed labor consultant (sharoushi) or lawyer.

[Reflecting changes in WorkVell]

Update the following as applicable:

⚠ WorkVell settings must always match your work rules. Misalignment can create legal compliance risk.
