After the revision of the law in June 2025, the scope of eligibility for Social Insurance (the Employees’ Pension and Health Insurance System) is being gradually expanded to enhance medical insurance and pension protections for part-time workers. As of now, if your workplace has 51 or more employees, and you meet the other criteria, you are eligible to enroll in Social Insurance. Note that the monthly income criteria will likely be abolished in October 2026.

To learn more about Social Insurance for part-time workers, please see the multilingual leaflet we created based on information from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and Sapporo City websites.
