I run a small restaurant, but I’m thinking of hiring a foreign student as a part-time job. Is there anything I should be careful about?

When hiring a foreign student as a part-time job, it is necessary to check whether the part-time job is illegal employment. If you neglect to confirm and force a foreigner to work illegally, your employer may also be penalized. International students are staying in Japan for the main purpose of studying, so in order to work part-time, it is necessary to have a permit for activities outside the qualification, and if there is a permit, in principle, work within 28 hours a week. Can be done. However, if you have multiple part-time jobs, please note that the total working hours is 28 hours. In addition, foreign nationals often insist on the rights of workers even when working part-time as a student, so it is important to properly exchange working conditions in writing so that they will not be quarreled after hiring or at the end of the labor contract.
