If the employee works in excess of the maximum working hours, do the employer need to pay their employee at overtime rate, how much is the rate?
And also how about work on the Statutory Holidays, does the employee will also entitled to have extra salary?

The general notion of ''overtime'' is vague in Japan... especially if teaching english.
Most school/companies expect employees to live and breathe their job , which includes staying late into the evening for whatever reason they see is important. oh.. and not get paid for it.
This may not be so with every job there, but that has been the experience of many people I know.
