The Effect of Fringe Benefits on the Paid Overtime Hours in Japan

Author(s): Hui-Yu Chiang

Citation: Hui-Yu Chiang, (2012) "The Effect of Fringe Benefits on the Paid Overtime Hours in Japan," Vol. 13, Iss. 3, pp. 123 - 136

Abstract:

In this paper, we adapt Bell and Hart’s model (1999) to examine paid overtime work by using Japanese

Survey of Company Fringe Benefits data which includes information on the employer’s provision of

fringe benefits as well as paid overtime hours for individuals. By including a crucial labor demand

variable- the quasi-fixed cost which is omitted from Bell and Hart’s (1999) report, the present study

provides more complete documentation of the structure of labor costs with paid overtime work.
