Yeah, we have 40 hours of maximum "standard" work hours in Japan. Additionally, there's some limits for overtime, such as max. 15 hours overtime per week, and 45 hours per month. At my workplace, these are strictly enforced, but I've heard that there's some culture of not reporting one's actual work hours in some companies.


I was referring more to the 100hr per month limit where a random death from heart failure will be investigated as caused by work :)
