Incentives to implement work for the 8th year of reiwa

This Tokyo Metropolitan Government subsidy promotes the introduction of workation (work + vacation) programs among mid-sized and small enterprises in Tokyo, providing incentive payments when employees actually conduct workation work to support telework establishment and flexible work arrangements. Eligible companies employ between 2 and 999 regular employees with at least 2 full-time workers based in Tokyo. Specific subsidy caps and rates are defined in the recruitment guidelines; the establishment of new workation-enabling work rules and submission of performance reports are conditions for payment. Key requirements include having no existing workation provisions at application, filing work rules with the labor standards office (if 10+ regular employees), and registering with Tokyo's "Telework Tokyo Rule" initiative with proof of "Telework Promotion Leader" designation. As a new program for fiscal year 2026, early review of recruitment guidelines and consultation with relevant authorities is essential for successful application.
