②In addition to what is prescribed in the preceding paragraph, when entering into a worker dispatching contract for overseas staffing, a worker dispatching provider must establish that the person using the overseas worker dispatching services is to take the following measures, pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare:

③Before entering into a worker dispatching contract pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), the worker dispatching provider must clearly indicate to the counterparty that it has obtained the license referred to in Article 5, paragraph (1).

④In concluding a new worker dispatching contract pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), a person seeking to use the worker dispatching services (excluding worker dispatching that falls under any of the items of Article 40-2, paragraph (1); the same applies in the following paragraph) that the worker dispatching provider will provide based on that new contract must notify the worker dispatching provider, in advance, of the first day on or after that on which the provider will start providing those services, on which the person's use of the worker dispatching services will violate the provisions of paragraph (1) of that Article for work at its place of business or at the place for the assigned work to be performed.

⑤If a worker dispatching provider does not receive a notice under the provisions of the preceding paragraph from the person seeking to use worker dispatching services based on a new worker dispatching contract, the provider must not conclude the worker dispatching contract with that person for work at the person's place of business or at the place for the assigned work to be performed.

⑥In entering into a worker dispatching contract, a person seeking to use worker dispatching services (excluding employment placement dispatch) must endeavor not to take any action intended to specify the dispatched workers who will be subject to the worker dispatching arrangement at worker dispatching contract.

⑧The term "comparable worker" as used in the preceding paragraph means a regular worker who is employed by the person seeking worker dispatching services, and who has a job content and associated level of responsibility (referred to below as "job duties"), and a scope of change in their job duties and assignment that are expected to be the same as those of the dispatched workers who are subject to the worker dispatching arrangement, or any other worker specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as a worker against whom the dispatched workers should be compared in terms of treatment.

⑨If a worker dispatching provider has not received information under the provisions of paragraph (7) from the person seeking worker dispatching services, the provider must not conclude a worker dispatching contract with that person in connection with the work in which the workers who are subject to the worker dispatching arrangement are to be engaged.

⑪A person seeking to use worker dispatching services or a client must make considerations concerning the amount of the worker dispatching charge so that the provider is able to comply with the provisions of Article 30-3, if it will provide worker dispatching other than subject to the agreement referred to in Article 30-4, paragraph (1), and with the provisions of an agreement concerning the particulars d in items (ii) through (v) of that paragraph, if it will provide worker dispatching subject to the agreement referred to in that paragraph.

It is prohibited for a person using worker dispatching services to cancel a worker dispatching contract on the grounds of a dispatched worker's nationality, creed, sex, social status, engagement in legitimate labor union activities, or other things of a similar nature.

An entity providing worker dispatching may suspend that worker dispatching or cancel the worker dispatching contract if the person using its worker dispatching services has violated the provisions of this Act or of Acts applied pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 (including the provisions of orders based on these provisions; the same applies in Article 31 and Article 40-6, paragraph (1), item (v)) in connection with the assigned work.

The cancellation of a worker dispatching contract has only prospective effect.

If a person using worker dispatching services cancels a worker dispatching contract for its own reasons, the person must take the necessary measures to ensure employment security for the dispatched workers, including ensuring new employment opportunities for the workers who are subject to the worker dispatching arrangement and taking measures to secure the necessary funds to pay dispatched workers an allowance for absence from work and other similar allowances.

①A worker dispatching provider must endeavor to take the measures stated in the following items, pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, for the dispatched workers on fixed-term contracts it employs (meaning dispatched workers who are employed for a fixed term; the same applies below) who are: specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as those with a prospect of continuously engaging in services under the worker dispatching arrangement for at least one year in the same organizational unit at the client's place of business or at the place for the assigned work to be performed (referred to below as "prescribed dispatched workers on fixed-term contracts"); specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as those who are considered to be in great need of employment security; and workers that the provider seeks to employ as dispatched workers on fixed-term contracts and who are specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as those who are considered to be in great need of employment security (hereinafter collectively referred to below as "current and prospective prescribed, fixed-term, dispatched workers" in this paragraph):

②To apply the provisions of the preceding paragraph to a prescribed dispatched worker on a fixed-term contract who has a prospect of continuously engaging in work for three years under a worker dispatching arrangement for work in an organizational unit at the client's place of business or at the place for the assigned work to be performed, the phrase "must endeavor to take" in that paragraph is deemed to be replaced with "must take".

①A staffing provider must provide educational training to the dispatched workers it employs so that they can acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for assigned work in multi-stage and systematic manner. This being the case, if any such worker is a dispatched worker on an open-ended contract (meaning a dispatched worker who is employed without a fixed term; the same applies below), the worker dispatching provider must make considerations so that that worker can effectively exercise their abilities throughout their career.

②At the request of a dispatched worker it employs, a worker dispatching provider must ensure opportunities for them to seek advice about career-path planning and must provide other such assistance.

①A worker dispatching provider must not create differences between the base pay, bonuses, and other treatment of the dispatched workers it employs and the corresponding treatment of regular workers that the client employs that are found to be unreasonable in consideration of the circumstances, including the dispatched workers' and regular workers' job descriptions and the scope of changes in their job descriptions and assignment, that are found to be appropriate in light of the nature of the treatment and the purpose of treating workers in that way.

②A worker dispatching provider must not, without legitimate grounds, subject a dispatched worker to treatment that is disadvantageous in terms of base pay, bonuses, or other such treatment when compared to the treatment accorded to a regular worker employed by the client, if the dispatched worker's job description is the same as that of the regular worker, and their job description and assignment throughout the entire period until the end of their assigned work for the client are expected, in light of the worker dispatching contract, the client's customary practices, and other such circumstances, to be changed within the same scope as the job description and assignment of the regular worker throughout the entire period until the end of their employment relationship with the client.
