If a person violating this Act is an agent, employee, or other staff member who was acting on behalf of the person in control of the business in connection with a particular that concerns a worker at that business, the fine under the relevant Article is also assessed against the person in control of the business; provided, however, that this does not apply if the person in control of the business has taken the necessary measures to prevent the violation (if the person in control of the business is a juridical person, the representative thereof is deemed to be the person in control of the business; and if the person in control of the business is a minor or an adult ward without the same legal capacity to act as an adult in connection with that business, the statutory representative thereof is deemed person in control of the business (if the statutory representative is a juridical person, the representative thereof). The same applies hereinafter in this Article).

この法律の違反行為をした者が、当該事業労働者に関する事項について、事業主のために行為した代理人、使用人その他の従業者である場合においては、事業主に対しても各本条の罰金刑を科する。ただし、事業主(事業主が法人である場合においてはその代表者、事業主が営業に関し成年者と同一の行為能力を有しない未成年者又は成年被後見人である場合においてはその法定代理人(法定代理人が法人であるときは、その代表者)を事業主とする。次項において同じ。)が違反の防止に必要な措置をした場合においては、この限りでない。

If a person in control of the business learns of a plan for a violation but does not take the necessary measures to prevent it, knows of a violation but does not take the necessary measures to rectify it, or induces the violation, the person in control of the business is also punished as a violator.
