- ア
正解 The “workers” protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act have the same meaning as the workers referred to in Article 9 of the Labor Standards Act, namely all persons who are employed by a business and paid wages. There is no distinction by type of employment here; full-time employees, part-timers, part-time workers (arubaito), and dispatched workers are all included. Therefore, all four of a to d are protected, and “ア (a, b, c, d)”, which lists them all, is correct.
Incorrectイ
Lists only a, b, and d, omitting c the part-timer. A part-timer is also a worker who earns wages and is employed by a business, and thus a protected object, so excluding it is wrong.
Incorrectウ
Lists only b, c, and d, omitting a the part-time worker (arubaito). A part-time worker (arubaito) is also a worker under the Labor Standards Act and thus a protected object, so excluding it is wrong.
Incorrectエ
Lists only b and d, omitting a the part-time worker (arubaito) and c the part-timer. Both are protected workers, so leaving out these two is wrong.
ここがポイント
- The “workers” in the Whistleblower Protection Act have the same definition as the workers in Article 9 of the Labor Standards Act; regardless of the type of employment (full-time employee, part-timer, part-time worker, dispatched worker), all persons who earn wages by working are protected.
- A worker who makes an internal report (public-interest whistleblowing) is protected by this Act from dismissal and other disadvantageous treatment.
