第三十三条(災害等による臨時の必要がある場合の時間外労働等)

If there is a temporary necessity due to a disaster or other unavoidable event, an employer may extend the working hours referred to in Articles 32 through 32-5 or Article 40, or may have a worker work on the day off referred to in Article 35, with the permission of the relevant government agency to the extent that is needed; provided, however, that if the urgency of the circumstances does not give the employer time to obtain the permission of the relevant government agency, it must file a notification with the relevant government agency without delay after the fact.

If a notification under the proviso to the preceding paragraph has been filed and the relevant government agency finds the extension of working hours or work on a day off to be inappropriate, it may thereafter order the employer to provide the worker with breaks or days off equivalent to the extra time that the worker was made to work.

前項ただし書の規定による届出があつた場合において、行政官庁がその労働時間の延長又は休日の労働を不適当と認めるときは、その後にその時間に相当する休憩又は休日を与えるべきことを、命ずることができる。
