The period of stay for Specified Skilled Worker (i) is limited to a total of not more than 5 years, and they can work within this period. Therefore, it is necessary to give them a raise in salary according to their skill proficiency (e.g., years of work experience, obtaining qualifications/skill tests, stepping up their level in the ability evaluation of Construction Career Up System, etc.). The expected amount of the raise, etc. must be written in advance in Specified Skills worker employment contract and the construction Specified Skills acceptance plan.

In addition, bonuses, various allowances, and retirement benefits must be paid on an equal basis to Japanese workers, and conditions that put only specified skilled workers at a disadvantage are not permitted.
