Then they need to see if they meet the qualification for full-time based on their company size, and their working status.

I said last year I got 10 paid days vacation in a previous post. That’s how much I’ve got for every year I’ve been at this job. 10 paid days a year. That is 100% for certain. 5 in August and 5 in December.

As for my company size, it is a sole proprietorship. The boss plus 5 staff.
I work the most hours of any staff at around 32 hours a week. No one else comes close.
As for working status, as I’ve established I have no idea and no idea how to even find out. When you say status do you mean full time part time? Or regular irregular? Or something else?

But if you are a key employee, you should have leverage, right?

Yeah I’ll be attempting that call sometime this coming week.

And yes. Definitely a key worker. Basically if I leave now the whole company goes with me.

They basically said that given my hours and days per week, and my years of service, that I should be entitled to 16 days paid vacation, AND it might seem that I should be getting social insurance (pension and health insurance) paid too (which I am currently not).
So looks like an interesting conversation will be being had tomorrow.

If an individual's business has 5 or more employees at any given time, it will be subject to compulsory social insurance, with the exception of some industries

個人の事業所は、従業員が常時5人以上となった場合、一部の業種を除き社会保険の強制適用事業所となります。加入条件を満たす従業員がいる場合には、社会保険の加入手続きが必要です。

2022年10月に適用業種の範囲変更があり、これまで対象外であった士業の個人事業所も、この「常時5人以上」の条件が適用されるようになりました

She said that it had to be a place that had 50 staff members.

However what you just posted says 5 staff.
If it’s 5 staff then I’m potentially in luck. As that’s what we have.
First I’m going to discuss the vacation pay, then depending on how well that goes, I’m going to push my luck on the social insurance
