DHTMF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Daihatsu Motor Co. paid a total of 50 million yen in back pay to some 1,000 workers in March at the behest of an Osaka labor authority because the company did not remunerate them fully for their overtime work for six months, Daihatsu officials said Thursday.
Last December, the Yodogawa labor standards bureau in Osaka made an inquiry concerning the work hours of Daihatsu employees working on flextime and found a discrepancy between the hours reported by the company and its own findings.
The major minivehicle maker counted the hours worked based on the time employees spent using work-related computer software, but failed to keep sufficient track of overtime work once workers stopped using the software, the officials said.
At the bureau's urging, Daihatsu conducted an in-house probe and then paid the back pay.
"We take our oversight seriously and intend to clean up our act," said a company spokesman.
The company faced a similar reprimand in 2003 and paid a combined total of 70 million yen in back wages to some 1,300 workers.
