Money problems can destroy my childcare leave plan.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the biggest theme of childcare leave. hahaha
By the way, I checked the salary during childcare leave at the company I work for, it was
Unpaid.
It was just 7 characters including ".".
It’s too simple.
Oh!? What!? My plan is over!?
When I thought so, I found the annotation under the word "Unpaid".
"If certain requirements are met, the employment security office (we call it "Hello Work" in Japan) will provide benefits."
"Oh!? Really!? Can I get money from the employment security office!?", I was soooo surprised.
When I was a part time worker, I went the employment security office sometimes,
I thought there was a place to apply for unemployment insurance or find jobs, so I was very surprised to know that I can receive childcare leave benefits from this office.
I searched on the Internet for "the employment security office (Hello Work) childcare leave benefits"!
At the top of the search was the item “Continuous Employment Benefits – The employment security office (Hello Work) Internet Service”.
If you are interested in Japanese or Childcare leave in Japan, please copy and paste "ハローワーク 育児休業給付金" and look it up on the internet!
I clicked on it and found a title of Continuous employment benefits,
there were three types of benefits: Continuous employment benefits for the elderly, Childcare leave benefits, and Family care leave benefits.

Apparently, Childcare leave benefits is a type of Continuous employment benefits.
In the column of Childcare leave benefits, there were three items: Outline, Specific procedures, Contents of childcare leave benefits and Payment application procedures.
Immediately, I clicked on the Outline, but …
It's also difficult to understand. haha
In my opinion, this kind of bureaucratic text is …
Not written for readers to understand. hahaha
I'll copy and paste it to make it look like question of checking reading skills.
