Employee Rights

[HaiChigau]

Hi.

I'm working for a company that told me that if I was ever sent to do work at a branch, it would be for 2 months at a time, a maximum of 4 months. It has been 11 months now.

That was a written agreement. The same agreement said that if I have a commute of over 2 hours to said branch, that accommodation would be provided. My commute is 2 hours and they have never provided accommodation.

I have brought up both of these points with my supervisors, but nothing has changed.

This is just part of my problems with my current employers.

I live in the Tokyo area, and it seems that legal advice is hard to come by for English speakers. I work through the week. Sometimes there are free advice sessions, but during the week when I work.

Anyone out there with some solid legal advice on how to deal with this?
