"I created work rules, but I don't need any other rules, do I?"


Do you think so, managers of small and medium-sized businesses?


It is true that business establishments that employ 10 or more employees on a regular basis are required to create and submit work rules. However, work rules alone cannot be said to be sufficient for the company's labor management.


This time, we will talk about the importance of various regulations, not just the main work rules.


Why are work rules alone not enough?


Work rules set out the company's basic working conditions and service discipline, and can be considered the company's constitution. However, work rules only set out the general framework, and separate regulations are required to set out detailed rules and procedures tailored to individual situations.


For example, Service rules: By specifically setting out employees' service discipline and matters to be observed, it leads to improved employee awareness and maintenance of discipline.


Disciplinary rules: By clearly defining the types and standards of disciplinary actions, it can act as a deterrent to employees and prevent unfair disciplinary actions.


Business trip travel expense rules: By defining how to handle travel expenses, accommodation expenses, daily allowances, etc. during business trips, it can reduce the burden on employees and improve the efficiency of expense settlement.


Personal information protection rules: By defining rules and management systems for handling personal information, it can reduce the risk of personal information leaks and gain social trust.


These rules play a very important role in ensuring that employees can work with peace of mind and in ensuring the smooth operation of the company.


Key points of rules by industry Medical care, welfare, and nursing care Personal information protection rules: Patients' personal information must be managed strictly.


Harassment prevention rules: Thorough measures must be taken to prevent harassment between employees.


Infectious disease countermeasures rules: It is necessary to define responses and preventive measures in the event of an infectious disease outbreak.


Dental clinic

Personal information protection rules: Patients' personal information must be managed strictly. Medical safety management regulations: Measures to prevent medical accidents must be established.


Work rules: Working hours, holidays, and salary systems for each job type, such as dentists, hygienists, and receptionists, must be clearly defined.


Real estate

Personal information protection regulations: Customers' personal information must be strictly managed.


Regulations regarding sales activities: Rules for sales activities and compliance matters must be defined.


Regulations regarding real estate transactions: Rules and procedures regarding real estate transactions must be clearly defined.


Regulations are especially important for small and medium-sized enterprises "My company is small, so I don't need regulations, right?"

Some managers may think so. However, regulations are especially important for small and medium-sized enterprises.


This is because small and medium-sized enterprises often have issues such as a lack of human resources and funds, and if a problem occurs with labor management, they may suffer great damage.

By establishing regulations, you can prevent problems from occurring and respond quickly and appropriately if they do occur. Leave the creation of regulations to the experts. "I want to create regulations, but I don't know where to start." "I created regulations, but I'm not sure if the content is appropriate."


In such cases, please consult a social insurance labor consultant or expert.

A social insurance labor consultant is familiar with laws and systems and will support you in creating and reviewing the most appropriate regulations to suit your company's situation. Summary In this article, we talked about the importance of various regulations, not just the main work rules.

The creation of regulations not only improves the company's labor management, but also creates an environment where employees can work with peace of mind.

Why not take this opportunity to review your company's regulations and make any necessary changes?
