🌸 Labor and Social Security Attorney Exam Study Diary Day 111 (198 days until the exam)

🏠 🔁 Turning misfortune into a blessing

This is from yesterday, but I filed my 🧾 tax return starting at dusk.
I called the tax office on February 2nd to ask for a consultation on filing my tax return, but
I was told that all such consultations were already fully booked.

Therefore, the tax office staff recommended that I
file my tax return using e-Tax via their 🌐 website,
and suggested that I consult them by 📞 phone for any parts I didn't understand.
Honestly, I didn't think it would be this difficult, but
I felt it would be a great learning experience, so I decided to do it myself.

This is not my first time filing a tax return.
However, since I had only ever experienced filing on 🖨 printed paper before,
I felt a bit anxious about the process using e-Tax this time.
Even so, thanks to Aki's support,
I was able to finish the work relatively smoothly.
However, since I was staring at my 💻 computer for about 3 hours,
I was quite exhausted.

As for my studies, I am continuing to focus on 📘 past exam questions.
In particular, since I started paying attention to how to solve problems and the structure of the questions,
my skills have clearly improved, and my correct answer rate is rising.
Moving forward, I want to train myself to be able to answer with even more ⏱ speed.

Now, I would like to move on to the questions I asked.
※The following is a summary of the questions asked so far.

🙋🏻 Haru: Regarding the comparison between nursing care leave and child nursing leave

Aki, please explain the similarities and differences between nursing care leave and child nursing leave in an easy-to-understand way.

This is Aki😊
Day 111, this is the **"most important comparison to learn side-by-side" in the childcare and nursing care field**.
Since you have the understanding from yesterday,Similarities → Differences → How to use them properlyis the order we will go in.

① Similarities (First, the parts that are the same)

Both nursing care leave and child nursing leave aresystems with very similar characteristics.

Summary of similarities

• ✔ Statutory leave defined by law

• ✔ Leave for short-term, sudden responses

• ✔ In principle, unpaid (no benefits)

• ✔ Can be taken in 1-day or hourly units

• ✔ Disadvantageous treatment is prohibited

• ✔ Certain workers can be excluded by labor-management agreement

👉 Both are systems designed so that you can
"take leave without being refused, without relying on the company's goodwill."

② Differences (This is the highlight for the exam)

Nursing Care Leave vs. Child Nursing Leave

👉 The number of days is the same
👉 The target individuals and purposes are different
This is the biggest difference.

3. Workers who can be excluded by labor-management agreement (Common)

For both systems, if there is a labor-management agreement 👇

• Employed for less than 6 months

• 2 days or less per week work

👉 Can be excluded
(*Not automatically excluded)

4. Usage distinction image (Super easy to understand)

Child Nursing Leave

• Child's fever

• Influenza

• Vaccinations/Health checkups

👉 Limited to children/Childcare support

Nursing Care Leave

• Accompanying parents to hospital visits

• Sudden calls

• Coordinating nursing care services

👉 Entire family/Nursing care support

5. A sentence you can use on the exam (Final version)

👉 “Both nursing care leave and child nursing leave are statutory leaves to handle short-term and sudden circumstances, are in principle unpaid, and can be taken in hourly units, but the target family members and the purpose of taking them differ.”

This sentence can be used for both descriptive and multiple-choice questions.

⑥ Final summary of Day 111

• Commonalities: Short-term, statutory, unpaid, cannot be refused

• Differences: Target individuals and purpose

• Number of days: 5 days/10 days for both

• How to remember👇
  👉 Nursing = child only
  👉 Caregiving = entire family

At this point, the
practical line and exam line of the Child Care and Family Care Leave Act completely overlap👏

If we go further

• People who cannot be excluded by labor-management agreement

• Relationship with annual paid leave

• Positioning relative to childcare leave

Everything is connected.
Let's continue again.

Day 111🙋🏻 Haru: The mechanisms for family care leave and child nursing leave are almost the same. However, the difference is that the target is the entire family versus just the child.

Tomorrow, I plan to go back a little and ask questions about the prohibition of discrimination based on gender and typical examples of indirect discrimination.

Aki-san here😊
Yes, that way of summarizing is perfect.

👉 If you can say this,
you will no longer be confused about family care leave and child nursing leave.

• The rules (unpaid, number of days, hourly units, cannot be refused) are the same

• Only who it is for is different

This is a framework that applies equally to both the exam and actual practice 👍

Tomorrow's theme is a very good 'way to return'

👉 Prohibition of discrimination based on gender / Typical examples of indirect discrimination

This is

• Equal pay for equal work

• Recruitment and hiring

• Placement and promotion

a cross-sectional topic that connects to everything.

Especially

• Height and weight requirements

• Relocation requirements

• Working hour requirements

These three are the examiner's favorites, so let's organize 'why they are not allowed' together tomorrow.

Today's achievement (Day 111)

• Nursing care leave / Child nursing leave: Understanding complete

• Can immediately answer that the only difference is the 'target person'

• Next is crossing labor law with **gender discrimination (indirect discrimination)**

Day 112, let's go together again.
