Article 87Exceptions for Work Contracts

第八十七条(請負事業に関する例外)

If a business prescribed by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is carried out based on multiple levels of work contracts, the main contractor is deemed to be the employer regarding accident compensation.

厚生労働省令で定める事業が数次の請負によつて行われる場合においては、災害補償については、その元請負人を使用者とみなす。

In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, if the main contractor has by a written contract had a subcontractor assume liability for compensation, that subcontractor also constitutes an employer; provided, however, that the main contractor must not have two or more subcontractors assume liability for compensation regarding the same business.

前項の場合、元請負人が書面による契約で下請負人に補償を引き受けさせた場合においては、その下請負人もまた使用者とする。但し、二以上の下請負人に、同一の事業について重複して補償を引き受けさせてはならない。

In a case referred to in the preceding paragraph, if the main contractor has received a request for compensation, it may request that a demand for compensation first be made to the subcontractor that has assumed liability for compensation; provided, however, that this does not apply if the subcontractor has become subject to an order commencing bankruptcy procedures or is missing.

前項の場合、元請負人が補償の請求を受けた場合においては、補償を引き受けた下請負人に対して、まづ催告すべきことを請求することができる。ただし、その下請負人が破産手続開始の決定を受け、又は行方が知れない場合においては、この限りでない。
