I opened a ramen noodle shop. Thanks to my loyal
customers, my business flourished and I became very
busy, so I decided to hire an employee and increase
productivity. However, since it was my first time hiring hiresomeone, I didn't know what to do, so I called the Sendai
Employment-Labor Consultation Center.
I told the consultant my problem, and received receive
onsite consultation from a social insurance labor attorney,
who explained how to sign up for social insurance, labor
laws, labor contracts etc., so I was able to hire an employee.
I always would be difficult for private business owners tohire someone, but after speaking to a labor attorney,
everything proceeded smoothly. I look forward to working
with my employees to provide delicious ramen noodles toour customers.

The consultation was helpful for a foreigner like myself
When I wanted to open an English conversation schoolin Sendai City, I acquired a startup visa (Startup Promotion Initiative for Foreigners), which is part of a policy
recognized for special cases in Sendai, a registerednational strategic district.
I wasn't sure how to hire employees once the school
opened, so I visited Sendai, and was directed to theSendai Employment-Labor Consultation Center.
The lawyers and social security attorneys that I talked towere able to help me prepare employment contracts,
explained labor laws, showed me how to draw up labor
conditions, make amendments, and gave me the knowledge necessary to hire employees, including informationon labor, social and unemployment insurance. Even for a
foreigner like myself, the English explanation was easy tounderstand, and the consultants were very kind andhelpful. I am very grateful for their support. My English
school is currently open, and busy every single day. I
was able to realize my dream, thanks to the help andsupport of the Sendai Employment-Labor Consultation
Center.
