Mr. SUNSET,
I see, I would be inundated with requests to switch ！

I hear that companies would rather hire two part-timers than hire one full-timer.
Now that the Japanese tourists are not returning, it seems to be tough to find a full time position in the type of work they want.
I will ask the PUA call center.
Thank you.

triple B,
To all part-timers receiving UI,

I have since confirmed with the unemployment insurance help team member who specializes in PUA, so I am sharing this with you as soon as possible.

[Regarding triple B's #12 question]
↓
Unfortunately, it is not possible to switch to PUA.

The reason is that the timing of the very first application for unemployment insurance, i.e., 18 months of past earnings retroactively from the time the first Initial Application was submitted, determines whether you are eligible for UI or PUA.

The PUA is a Corona Prevention Program to accept people who were denied UI because they were unable to calculate their WBA based on past income. In other words, if they are receiving UI, they are able to calculate their WBA, and it is not possible for them to switch to PUA in the middle of the process at their own will.

Therefore, it is impossible to switch to PUA as long as the person is receiving UI, regardless of the respective statuses "Full-time job fully unemployed", "Part-time fully unemployed", "Part-time temporarily laid off", or "Part-time shortened".

Indeed, in past cases, all those who were unable to calculate WBA in the Base Period or Alternative Period were denied UI and moved to PUA. The wording in the example "are seeking part-time employment" is interpreted to mean that these people are seeking part-time work.

He said that if the call center staff were skilled people, they would explain the difference between UI and PUA in past earnings. If skilled staff responds, please double check.

As an aside, the "UI → PUA" switch for parents with children under high school age who are in Stay Home due to school closures or online classes is a "special exception" to protect many parents and children from corona effects, regardless of past income.

Dear employers reading this topic,
In the restaurant industry, where staffing shortages are becoming more and more serious, some companies like StripSteak Waikiki are doing their best by promising to pay bonuses along with hiring. We hope you will refer to this case study as an example of how to solve the problem of human resource shortages.

To those who are thinking of changing jobs in the restaurant industry,
StripSteak Waikiki's website has a Japanese menu, so there is a possibility that they are looking for Japanese staff. I suggest you contact HR to see what kind of positions they have available. They are having a Job Fair next Tuesday and Wednesday.

I have been job searching since I lost my job in Corona, but I am having a very difficult time finding a job that is equivalent to my previous income when I look at job openings.
Also, my current unemployment insurance benefits are less than my previous income, and even if I look for jobs with this minimum amount of unemployment insurance benefits, it is difficult to find such conditions.
Of course, there may be jobs available regardless of the type of work, but I would like a job where I can make use of my experience.
I have a feeling that there are quite a few people in this situation, but what about you? ？

I often hear employers complain that they cannot attract workers because of unemployment insurance. I have some doubts about the conditions of employment, benefits, etc.
Some employers seem to think that unemployment insurance is generous, but I myself have less unemployment insurance than I used to earn, and I would like to get back to work as soon as possible.
I don't feel that there is a difference in perception between these employers and the unemployed.
