Formula basis

Average daily wage = Math.ceil(totalWageThreeMonthsYen / calendarDaysThreeMonths), rounding any fractional yen upward to an integer yen. Daily benefit base = max(average daily wage, minimumDailyYen). Then apply 60% and 20% to payableDays = max(0, absenceDays - 3), floor each benefit, and adjust for employerPaidYen.

Calculation method

Estimates the 60% leave compensation benefit and 20% special leave payment from the fourth day of absence due to an occupational or commuting accident.

Exclusions and checks required

  • The requirements for an occupational versus commuting accident, inability to work during treatment, and nonpayment of wages are not evaluated.
  • Periods excluded from average-wage calculations, sliding-scale adjustments, and age-based limits are simplified.
