### 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） — (Overtime Work and Work on Days Off in Cases of Temporary Necessity Due to a Disaster or Other Event)
<sup>caption: Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>
<sup>art-33 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/labor-standards-act/art-33 · https://japanlaw.org/l/322AC0000000049/art-33</sup>

**第一項**  災害その他避けることのできない事由によつて、臨時の必要がある場合においては、使用者は、行政官庁の許可を受けて、その必要の限度において第三十二条から前条まで若しくは第四十条の労働時間を延長し、又は第三十五条の休日に労働させることができる。ただし、事態急迫のために行政官庁の許可を受ける暇がない場合においては、事後に遅滞なく届け出なければならない。
<sup>art-33/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/labor-standards-act/art-33/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/322AC0000000049/art-33/par-1</sup>
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.
<sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

**第二項**  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。
<sup>art-33/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/labor-standards-act/art-33/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/322AC0000000049/art-33/par-2</sup>
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.
<sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

**第三項**  公務のために臨時の必要がある場合においては、第一項の規定にかかわらず、官公署の事業（別表第一に掲げる事業を除く。）に従事する国家公務員及び地方公務員については、第三十二条から前条まで若しくは第四十条の労働時間を延長し、又は第三十五条の休日に労働させることができる。
<sup>art-33/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/labor-standards-act/art-33/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/322AC0000000049/art-33/par-3</sup>
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), if there is a temporary necessity to do so for the purposes of public service, an employer may extend the working hours referred to in Articles 32 through 32-5 or Article 40 for national public officers and local public officers engaged in the business of public agencies (excluding the business listed in Appended Table 1), or may have them work on the days off referred to in Article 35.

<sup>changed by another Act: Article 5, paragraph (1) of the Act on Special Measures concerning Salaries and Other Conditions for Education Personnel of Public Compulsory Education Schools, etc. (公立の義務教育諸学校等の教育職員の給与等に関する特別措置法) reads this rule as covering teachers and other educational staff (教育職員) of public schools, other than those placed in remedial training (指導改善研修), in their work in education, so they may be made to work longer hours or on rest days when public duty temporarily requires it, with regard for their health and welfare. That Act is not in this collection, so nothing of it beyond this note is given — https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/346AC0000000077 (note: editorial:outside-changes-2026-10-07)</sup>
<sup>changed by another Act: Article 6, paragraph (1) of the Act on Special Measures concerning Salaries and Other Conditions for Education Personnel of Public Compulsory Education Schools, etc. (公立の義務教育諸学校等の教育職員の給与等に関する特別措置法) lets teachers and other educational staff (教育職員) of public schools, other than those who receive a managerial allowance or are placed in remedial training (指導改善研修), be made to work beyond their regular hours only in the cases a local ordinance (条例) sets under standards a Cabinet Order lays down. That Act is not in this collection, so nothing of it beyond this note is given — https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/346AC0000000077 (note: editorial:outside-changes-2026-10-07)</sup>
<sup>changed by another Act: Article 6, paragraph (3) of the Act on Special Measures concerning Salaries and Other Conditions for Education Personnel of Public Compulsory Education Schools, etc. (公立の義務教育諸学校等の教育職員の給与等に関する特別措置法) applies the same limit — only in the cases a local ordinance (条例) sets under standards a Cabinet Order lays down — to making those teachers and other educational staff (教育職員) of public schools work their regular hours on national and year-end holidays and other days that carry a holiday-work allowance. That Act is not in this collection, so nothing of it beyond this note is given — https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/346AC0000000077 (note: editorial:outside-changes-2026-10-07)</sup>
