The word-of-mouth information site "Minna no Career" operated by Agent Co., Ltd. has released "Retirement Agency Chaos Map 2022 Edition"

■ What is retirement agency? Retirement agency is a service that informs the company of the intention to retire on behalf of the worker and acts as an intermediary for the procedures necessary for retirement. "Even if I tell them my intention to retire, I can't quit because I'm stopped." "I'm harassed and I don't want to go to work." I support people who can't retire on their own. Although the retirement agency service itself has existed for more than 10 years, it has rapidly gained recognition since it was featured on the NHK news program in 2018. According to a 2021 survey by the Japan Labor Survey Association, it was found that about 30% of the 523 office workers (men and women) aged 20 to 39 years old used the retirement agency themselves or around them. The retirement agency service is beginning to permeate society. ■ Background to the creation of the “Chaos Map for Retirement Agency” As the agency for retirement has permeated society, the number of agency services for retirement is increasing. However, using the movement of the society, illegal services have emerged. We have summarized 66 retirement services by operator type and price range so that those who use them can choose safe services. [Differences depending on the type of operator] -Private companies The largest number of services and the lowest fees are the retirement agency services operated by private companies. Many people choose it because it is cheap, but we cannot negotiate with the company such as paid leave and unpaid bills for salary and overtime. You can only communicate your intentions on your behalf. If you negotiate, it is illegal because it is a non-verbal act that violates the Attorney Act. Be aware that if you ask a non-verbal contractor, there are various risks such as the cancellation of retirement and the complaint from the company. Private companies that perform retirement services at exceptional rates may have illegal services, so please check the reviews in advance before making a request. (Reference: What is a retirement agency service? ｜ Benefits and risks of use ・ Introducing major retirement agencies ｜ Labor issues lawyer Navi https://roudou-pro.com/columns/262/) ・ Labor union / general union company Labor unions can negotiate with private companies that cannot negotiate with them. Some services are operated in partnership with labor unions and private companies. Since the labor union has the right to collective bargaining, various negotiations with the company are possible. Since the fee is the same as that of a private company, you can request a proxy at a reasonable price. However, it should be noted that there are some illegal services such as the information of the operator is not disclosed, and although it is written as a labor union, it is actually operated by a private company. Also, unions can negotiate but cannot be lawyers for trials, so we recommend that you ask a law firm if there is a possibility of a trial.・ Judicial scrivener / administrative scrivener office Administrative scrivener operates mainly services such as communication of retirement intention and preparation of documents such as retirement notification. You cannot negotiate like a lawyer. It is recommended for those who want to keep costs down because the fee is cheap and those who are worried about preparing documents at the time of retirement. If you are a retired agent run by a judicial scrivener, pay attention to whether you are a certified judicial scrivener. If it is a retirement agency service operated by a certified judicial scrivener, you can negotiate for 1.4 million yen or less. Fees tend to be cheaper than law firms, so if you want to charge less than 1.4 million, it's a good idea to ask a certified judicial scrivener. If you are not a certified judicial scrivener, you need to be careful because the service content is almost the same as that of a private company.

Can a judicial scrivener or a labor and social security attorney also do it? | Strong in debt consolidation and debt problems | agency-illegal /) ・ Law firm The law firm is the most legally secure place to request a retirement agency. Only lawyers can handle bills to the company and handle detentions, negotiations, and settlements from the company. The price tends to be higher accordingly. Also, if you request money from the company, you may be charged a success fee in addition to the usage fee, so check in advance. It is recommended when you want to claim unpaid salary or overtime, or when you expect that you will not be able to retire smoothly.
