Q&A
04. About the company which carry out the business of hiring specified skilled workers

The host company must be indirectly or directly subscribed to the Japan Association for Construction Human Resources that is the the company which carry out the business of hiring specified skilled workers.

If the receiving company is a member of a construction trade association that is a full member of JAC, it will be considered to be an indirect member of JAC; it does not need to be a direct member of JAC.

On the other hand, we understand that there are cases where, for various reasons, a receiving company does not become a member of a construction industry association that is a regular member of JAC. In that case, it is necessary for the receiving company to join JAC directly and become a supporting member of JAC.

Each of the host companies is required to pay the acceptance fee per Specified Skilled Worker (i) person every month. In addition, this acceptance fee must not be borne by the Specified Skilled Worker (i), whether directly or indirectly.

This acceptance fee will be used for joint projects implemented by JAC as a the company which carry out the business of hiring specified skilled workers, such as the implementation of education and training and skills evaluation exam, support for employment and job change for those who have passed the examination or those who are exempt from the examination, patrol guidance for host companies and Specified Skilled Worker (i), and the operation of the mother tongue consultation hotline.

For details on the host fees, please see "Membership Fees, etc."

The method of collection of the acceptance charge borne by the receiving company will differ depending on the JAC membership category, and will be either a) or b) below.

A) In the case of a receiving company that is a member of a construction trade association that is a regular member of JAC
The method of collecting the host company's fees varies depending on the construction industry association to which you belong. In most cases, the construction industry association to which you belong will collect the host company's fees. In some cases, you will have to pay the host company's fees directly to JAC by bank transfer.

a) In the case of a receiving company that is a supporting member of JAC
When your enrollment is approved, you will be asked to submit a "Deposit Account Transfer Request Form/Automatic Payment Application Form." You will pay the acceptance fee directly to JAC via account transfer.

For details on collection methods and charges, please refer to "Chapter 2, 03. Acceptance Fees."

Specified Skilled Worker (i) is required to be treated as a person with appropriate experience because they already have a certain level of experience or skills, just like those who have completed the Technical Intern Training (ii) well. For example, The Specified Skills (i) Evaluation Exam for Construction Industry Successful applicants or those who have passed the Skills Test Level 3 must be treated as having more than 3 years of experience. Therefore, when determining the expected amount of remuneration, it is necessary to set an appropriate estimated amount of remuneration not only by exceeding the level of remuneration of Technical Intern Training (ii), but also by comparing it with the remuneration paid to Japan technicians who actually have the same experience as the foreigner.

If your application for membership as a supporting member is approved, you will receive an email from CloudSign with instructions on how to issue your membership card. Your company will need to complete a separate procedure (checking the membership card we send you) before the membership card issuance procedure can be completed.
