Salary and Bonus Cuts at National Universities

Salaries at national universities were cut by 2% in December 2002.
(For employees with yearly contracts, e.g. Gaikokujin-kyoshi, the salary cut came into effect in April 2003.)

The bonus is cut as well, by 0.05 months' salary, which means that over one year you recieve only a bonus of the equivalent of 4.65 months' salary instead of 4.7 months' salary before. This cut came into effect in the fiscal year 2002 (Heisei 14).

Also, the distribution of the bonus is changed:

Bonus system until fiscal 2001 (Heisei 13):
June: 2.05 months
December: 2.1 months
March: 0.55 months
total: 4.7 months' salary

Bonus system in fiscal 2002 (Heisei 14):
June: 2.05 months
December: 2.4 months
March: 0.2 months
total: 4.65 months' salary

Bonus system in fiscal 2003 (Heisei 15) and further on:
June: 2.25 months
December: 2.4 months
There will be no more March bonus.
total: 4.65 months' salary
