Additionally, employee ID card lanyards are provided to indicate that pregnant women need consideration and accommodation even in early pregnancy, and paid half-day leave for regular fetal checkups is also in operation. Spousal paternity leave, parental leave, and reduced working hours during childcare periods can also be freely utilized.
