An employer must pay the full amount of wages in currency directly to the worker; provided, however, that an employer may pay other than in currency if so provided for by laws and regulations or collective agreement or if it does so for the wages prescribed by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare by a reliable method for the payment of wages that is prescribed by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare; and it may pay wages from which a partial deduction has been made if so provided for by laws and regulations, or if it has a written agreement with the labor union that is organized by a majority of the workers at that workplace, if there is one, or with a person representing a majority of the workers at that workplace, if there is no such union.
Wages must be paid at least once a month on a fixed date; provided, however, that this does not apply to wages paid in special circumstances, bonuses, and any other wages prescribed by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare equivalent to them (referred to as "special wages and other wages" in Article 89).
