Hello Everyone,

Just curious, someone mentioned to me today that unemployment insurance is part of the monthly Private Mutual Aid Insurance deduction from my monthly salary. I'm curious because the unemployment has always been taken out as a separate amount, usually in July.

Has anyone here experienced either form of the deduction (monthly or separately). I am trying to ascertain if I have been accidentally paying twice.

Thanks,
James

My 雇用保険 is taken out monthly and in July when it is taken from my bonus as well.

Unemployment coverage is not one of the benefits listed here:

Unemployment Insurance is for National Unemployment Insurance = Hello Work.

Can you check on your pay slip? It is usually listed separately there, if you are paying monthly.
