I raised the issue of a reasonableness test regarding place of work and whether we should include some wording. I was advised that it was not required as it is implicit. Clause 7. They will include a no obligation to award an increase sentence. Options, bonus and sign-on wording will be the ENE wording. Clause 8. I asked to have wording made clear that it was ".. otherwise as required by the Company..." Clause 9. This will only apply to more senior levels. The para will be omitted where overtime is relevant and this will be covered under work rules and be the statutory amounts. Clause 10. We agreed to go flat rate for holidays although we did discuss a two level approach as 20 days is generous for non managerial staff who will not use it all anyway. You and I need to agree on this. Clause 13. I was right, it does read that we can only terminate for just cause and even then it is difficult to prove (there is a case that states that mere incompetence does not constitute Just Cause). The definition examples are those recommended by the Lawyers although they are going to take up with them a couple of my suggestions to get their view. Again I will talk you through this. As far as employees giving notice, the statutory limit is 2 weeks so the period in the contract is a moral agreement only, although this is taken more eriously in Japan than elsewhere. We also discussed the exec agreement concept which they think will not work but are reviewing the wording with their lawyers. Clause 19. Although in the template, they would recommend including it as part of the normal terms and conditions so we need to wait for their comments on the exec agreement. They are revising template for tomorrow morning. Work Rules Fairly standard and not required initially. They are working on a draft for us to review and comment on. Benefits including Pension They agree with our selection of benefits although they recommend a lump sum allowance type all employee pension plan which is a book reserve which pays out on termination based on salary and length of service. This is very common and supplements the Government pension scheme. This would in in addition to SRAP and they are sending me more details. Issues Corporate/Employment Filings. They mentioned that there are a number of filing requirements that need to be done to get businesses underway. Do we know what we have doen to date on this front? Options. Although these schemes are common there is a lot of legal prep work involved so I intend to see if Enron Corp HR has started this with Japn, if not I will get it rolling. Expat Contracts. They would like to review our expat contract terms, can you provide these or do I have them? I will call you to discuss. Ihave another conference call with them tomorrow morning.
