Is it common in Japan to promise or write down that I will resign/return to my own country if I get pregnant? What will happen if I do not sign?

• That kind of promise is not permitted in Japan. Even if, either before or after you come to Japan, you are asked to promise or sign a piece of paper saying that you will resign or return to your country if you get pregnant, tell them, ‘I do not want to sign that. I should not have to.
• Under Japanese law, there are systems that protect pregnant women. Technical intern trainees are also protected by those systems.
• Taking time off work to attend the Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) department or if you feel unwell due to your pregnancy is permitted.
• If nothing changes even if you seek advice at your company,
you can consult your local Prefectural Labor Bureau’s
Employment Environment and Equality Department (Office).
