The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology considers that there are students who cannot receive the newly established leave support and benefits for workers who cannot work due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus infection because the working days are not clear. , Issued a re-notification requesting that universities and prefectural boards of education nationwide be thoroughly informed of the system.
The re-notification was sent in the form of a request to prefectures, prefectural boards of education, universities, colleges of technology, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's Medical Affairs Bureau, and the Social and Assistance Bureau under the name of the Student and International Student Division of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Lifelong Learning Promotion Division. ..
According to it, when applying for leave support and benefits, the employer needs to prove the fact of the leave, but the employer says that the working days are unclear for some workers such as those who work on a shift system.
