I have completed my J1 training and am now back in Japan and looking for a company that can support my E2VISA from Japan.
My question is, are there any requirements in terms of age and work experience to switch from J1 VISA to E2 VISA? ?
For J1 VISA, 5 years of experience in food and beverage including part-time job as a student was required.
I myself had no problem because I had more than 5 years of restaurant experience, but I have heard that there are some people who have less restaurant experience who have changed their career history to 5 years.
I wonder if it is possible to renew my E2VISA with more than 5 years of experience in food and beverage ?
I would like to know if there is anyone who is familiar with E2VISA support and is currently working with E2VISA ! Thank you very much. Please !

There is no age requirement, but it is difficult if you are too young. This is because the qualities of being able to manage in the same position as a manager are questioned.
If you have several years of experience as a restaurant manager or the like, I think you will be safe.

Japalace can afford to give you E2
even if you don't want it
and the owners of Japalace in Hawaii
are seriously short of staff
and want you to come tomorrow to be honest, I'd like you to come tomorrow but the benefits and hours are not that great.

There are a lot of 22 and 23 year olds in management positions at all workplaces
However, the treatment and hours are not as good … Hey … You get the picture ?
We let them live in Hawaii so they have to sign slave contracts. I know, right?
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know.

It's up to you to climb out of it !
I wish you the best of luck.

I am interested in baking bread but have no experience. Does anyone know of a place that will hire me as an assistant with no experience ?
or a school that will train me?
I will practice on my own at home for a while.
Thank you very much.

Have you ever worked in a bakery ?

It would be nice if you could start out in baking, but even if not

there are many things you can learn if you work in a bakery.

I think there is a lot you can gain by working your way down, like a sushi chef or a chef.

Good luck.

Thank you Vicky, I will try to find a job in the Nikkei bakery.
I've looked at jobs at Nikkei bakeries, but none of them are looking for people with no experience, but if I wanted to start as a cashier and learn to bake for the first time, I might have a chance !
Thank you.

14.00 per hour

I read that the minimum hourly wage is now $14.00 and the tip rate in restaurants has been increased, requiring that a minimum of $21.00 per hour be paid by the employer plus tips.
Is this applicable to kitchen staff and not servers ?
Is the employer responsible for any missing tips ??

If a company uses the tip credit ( system ) which allows tipped employees to be paid an hourly rate lower than the normal minimum wage, the system requires that the employee be paid at least $ 21 per hour, so if the company pays the minimum wage $ 14, then would not add anything.

Make sure you understand the laws of the State of Hawaii, and
if you think they are wrong, show them to your employer and sue them.

If you still don't like the black company, you can

fill out this form to sue them for free and even suspend their business. If you are still not satisfied, you can sue the company for free.

This is the case for "Minimum Wage Calculation Table [When Using Tip Credit]" as shown in the PDF that Mr. Justice Wins is sending me.
I am an employer using Tip Credit.
If you are a kitchen staff member and you are paid $14 per hour, the employer does not have to pay you any more.
Overtime must be paid at 1.5 times the hourly rate.

Recruiting at a higher hourly rate and actually paying less

In my recent job search, I see a lot of postings for hourly wages $ 17 to 20, etc.

In fact, when I go to interviews, the hourly rate is $ 11 or 12, and including Tip, it is usually $ 17 to more.
and so on, when you go to the interview.

but when you actually work there, the hourly rate is $ 15 or so including tips.

Is this different from what is stated in the job description? ?
Is there a problem if a higher hourly wage is indicated with tips, and the actual wage is lower than that? ?
Is there any problem like this in the restaurant industry where you work ??

This is my very recent experience.
Japanese president male and Japanese manager female. They are family friends.
They explained and offered high hourly wage in the interview and job advertisement, but in reality, they only pay low salary which is completely different. When I spoke to the president about the salary, he brushed me off. They do not put this in a written contract with the individual, so that they cannot be sued. I would be a fool not to have told them to put that in writing, and be careful of places that use that kind of tactic to prevent you from filling out paperwork to the detriment of the company. They made me do a lot of overwork and then made me fill out a form saying that the overwork would be adjusted by the week, so I didn't get paid for the overwork. The transportation allowance was also a lie. The store of such a fraudulent group is still in S King today.

It seems that there is a recent trend in Hawaii restaurants.
Some people who want to live in Hawaii ! want to raise their children in Hawaii ! said the easiest way to live in Hawaii is to own and operate a restaurant in Hawaii.
I want to create a restaurant that is loved by the locals. The more people who say "I want to build a restaurant that the locals love," or "My employees are my family. The more people who say such stinky lines, the more it seems that they don't pay their employees full time.

I see here that Japanese companies are still
saying and doing things differently.
They hire cheaply and don't even pay overtime.
In restaurants, even the managers get tips for some reason.
I have heard such stories.
One company is looking for an office clerk and sales person, but
they don't pay for parking, even though they are not in Waikiki.
You can say whatever you want.

I have one question too.
Many customers who pay their bill by credit card also pay the tip on top of their card, but I get it by check as well. The tip is also included in the 1099, so I pay the GEtax. I know that tips are also taxed, but do you also do it that way ??

mcsk, in my case, the tip on the card is accounted for, but the store does not account for the cash.

News Release
U.S. Department of Labor | November 1, 2021

U.S. Department of Labor Finds Oahu Restaurant Owner Allowed Managers to Give Tip Share and Refused to Pay Kitchen Workers Overtime
Investigation Results in Recovery of $170,000 in Unpaid Wages and Penalties for 13 Workers

Honolulu - Honolulu restaurant owner allowed manager to illegally control a portion of workers' tips, averaging 55 per week A recent federal investigation uncovered facts that made it difficult for employees to earn a living by refusing to pay overtime wages to cooks who worked an average of 55 hours per week.

An investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage ・ and Hour Division found that Rinka restaurant owner ・ R-International Inc. violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, resulting in $85,000 in unpaid wages for 13 employees and R-International Inc. was cited for violating the Fair Labor Standards Act and $85,000 in unpaid wages to 13 employees and a penalty of the same amount was collected. The department also lent the employer $10,000 in civil penalties for its egregious violations.

"The owner of Rinka Restaurant violated the law by refusing to pay the full amount of tips earned by its employees and by refusing to pay the required overtime to its cooks, demonstrating an abusive disregard for workers' rights," Honolulu Wage ・ Labor Hours Division Director Terrence ・ Trotter said. This incident is a warning that violating federal law can be very serious. We encourage all employers to contact us or use the U.S. Department of Labor's online resources before implementing potentially non-compliant practices."

Since 2016, the Wage ・ and Hour Division has reported that the Western Region conducted more than 2,650 investigations in the restaurant industry and recovered $24 million in unpaid wages for more than 15,300 employees. The department's Honolulu District Office
has conducted 228 of these investigations, found violations in 219 cases, and recovered more than $1.4 million in unpaid wages for nearly 1,700 employees.

For more information on the FLSA and other laws enforced by our division, please contact our toll-free helpline at 866- 4US-WAGE ( 487-9243 ). Wages ・ For more information on the Division of Hours of Work, including a search tool to use when the Division may reimburse wages collected, please click here.

I recently moved here from California.
When I look at restaurant jobs, I often see that the server's paycheck (hourly rate) often includes tips.
Is this legal in Hawaii? ? Is it not illegal because it is higher than the minimum? Please let me know if you know!

Difficult Job Search in Hawaii

In my personal opinion, it was very difficult to find a job again as a corona. My unemployment insurance was cut off in September 2021 and I sent my resume to about 100 companies and received no response at all. It is not that my education or work history is bad. I am a GC holder who can legally work.

Personal advice. I applied with my eyes on the mainland, got an offer and moved to the mainland. Now I am on the mainland and I really think it was a good choice. If you push and it doesn't work, you have to pull. There are plenty of jobs on the mainland. Or return to Japan, for example. Hawaii is in a difficult situation right now. There are almost no bilingual jobs, especially in Japanese.

Being forced... Is it right to be forced... I'm being forced ? by whom ?
There are a lot of jobs out there. There are lots of places with a sign on the door.
Who forced you to live on your savings? ?

You need to try something instead of just asking for something ?

Waiting means I still belong to the company.
I don't intend to change jobs, so I'm not active because I'm in a sitting position and I think it's
rude to look for a temporary job.
It would be a nuisance to those who are seriously looking for a job.
I believe that it is in times like this that the Japanese should give in to each other.

When you say you belong to a company, you're a furlough or something ?
I had the same type of job. Timeshare ? tour company ? something like that ?

no matter how much you belong to the company, if the tourism business doesn't come back, that's a neck and neck.

In your employment relationship with the company, which is unclear, you say things like
"I'm still under contract with the company," but
you just want to feel secure about your position ?
and that you still have a place to work. You want to be reassured that you have a place to work.

But even if you say that
it's a precarious contract.

Even your bosses don't know what will happen to the tourism industry in the future, but
they say, "It's rude to the company.
If tourism doesn't return, you may be the first one fired.

It sounds nice to say, "It's mutual respect among Japanese," but
if your close friends were the first to get back to work and live modestly,
would you say, "It's mutual respect, so go ahead ??

No doubt you would be jealous of him ! ?

You don't have the courage to try, why don't you do the best you can before you talk so highly of yourself ?
It seems that humans have a wonderful power !

Before relying on the government, take the first step yourself.
If you want money, you have to work. If it's too hard to make ends meet with your savings, you have to work.
Just do it before you write to the government!

Let's hang in there !
Lots of Japanese residents are struggling.
But the future is not so bad. I believe so and just do what I can do now as much as I can.
By the way, I started picking up trash because my workplace is in Farlow, where I was pampered.

But for sure I get in $ $700 a month.
Compared to the income I made then, it's a tearful little income, but now that UI is over, it's a thankful income.

Everyone, there must be something you can do.
Before you lament and blame others, do the dirty work.

Surely there will be a light in the future of such people.
In this unprecedented world, I want to live a life that I can boast to my children, I want to be that kind of adult.
