SOCIAL & LABOR INSURANCE SERVICES Service Overview

One-stop social and labor insurance support for foreign companies

Japan’s social and labor insurance systems are highly complex—particularly for foreign-affiliated companies and expatriate employees.
Errors in enrollment, contribution calculations, or benefit procedures can lead to significant financial exposure, compliance risks, and loss of trust.
From a global mobility perspective, Social Security Agreements play a critical role in controlling costs and ensuring proper coverage.
Accurate operational judgment is required to avoid double contributions, obtain exemption certificates (such as A1 forms), and manage pension aggregation and withdrawal procedures.
ARK provides one-stop social and labor insurance administration services, fully integrated with payroll operations and delivered by specialists experienced in supporting foreign companies entering Japan.
Multilingual support in English, Chinese, Korean, and other languages ensures smooth coordination with overseas headquarters and expatriate employees.
