+
+## Interesting office laws
+
+You can use the following laws at your advantage at the office.
+
+- It's illegal to eat lunch at your desk at work.  
+Article R4228-19 du Code du travail [[1]](#1)  
+If your company has at least 50 employees, they have to give you a place where you can eat ([Article R4228-22](#3)). And it has to have a sufficient amount of tables and chairs, a faucet with drinking water available, cold AND hot, a fridge, and something to heat your food (like a microwave).  
+Under 50 employees they still have to give you a place to eat but the restrictions on chairs and tables are not as strict.  
+If your employer does not provide this and refuse to, feel free to sue, you'll win.  
+You can also use that law at your advantage is your boss forces you to eat your lunch in front of your computer to make your work longer without pause.
+
+- You can be fired if your mood is incompatible with the rest of the team. [[2]](#2)
+
+- You can drink alcohol at work but only wine, beer, cider, poiré, anything else is forbidden (so no hard liquors). And you can't be drunk (whatever that means).  Article R4228-20 [[4]](#4) and R4228-21 [[5]](#5) du Code du travail  
+If you are being socially forced to drink at work to the point of being drunk, you can sue. Be sure to keep proofs that you are drunk, which is difficult but I suppose an Ethylotest result could work.

+# Social Insurance
+
+Social Insurance is a broad term compromised of Pension, Health, Unemployment and Worker’s Accident Compensation [[2]](#2).
+
+## Pension
+
+WIP
+
+## Health Insurance
+
+For most individuals you'll ever be on the NHI (National Health Insurance 国民健康保険) or on the company health insurance (健康保険).  
+When you are on the NHI you are directly under the state health insurance.  
+As of 2017, 35,000,000 people are under the NHI directly (28%). While 76,650,000 people are under company health insurance [1](#1).  
+But there is a catch, most people on company health insurance are actually under National Health Insurance Association / Association Kenpo (国健康保険協会 / 協会けんぽ), this is what the company uses as their insurance in the back. So you are still technically under a state founded insurance.  
+Some companies instead use an industry wide labor union's insurance (健康保険組合).
+
+Health insurance in japan is extremely regulated and all insurances have to cover a long range of illness so you shouldn't have to think too much about it.
+
+## I'm registered as kojin jigyo, what should I do?
+
+If you are independent you still have to pay for health insurance, but this time you have to pay the whole amount yourself.  
+You have a few options:
+
+- Subscribe to the NHI.  
+- If you just left your company you can stay on your previous company health insurance for the next 2 years (it's usually cheaper so it's recommended). This process is called 任意継続保険制度.  
+- Join National Health Insurance Association (国民健康保険組合). This is usually cheaper than NHI (around 2 mans). But you have to check the conditions as I'm not sure every type of job is accepted. You can check their [beautiful green website that looks like it's from the 80s](http://www.bunbi.com/).
+- Any other insurance union, for instance:  
+    - [関東ITソフトウェア健康保険組合](https://www.its-kenpo.or.jp/)
+    - [関東信越税理士国民健康保険組合](http://www.ka-z-kokuho.or.jp/)
+    - [全国土木建築国民健康保険組合](http://dokenpo.or.jp/index.php)
+    - [東京食品販売国民健康保険組合](https://www.toshoku-kokuho.or.jp/)
+
+### NHI / 国民健康保険
+
+Under NHI you are required to pay 30% of the medical costs of care at clinic and hospitals. 90% of hospital and clinics are supported.[3](#3)  
+Note that also covers you overseas, but only for emergencies, and I would not count on it too much personally.
+
+> NHI reimburses Overseas Medical Costs only when they are for emergency treatment.  NHI does not reimburse medical costs on trips made overseas for the purpose of receiving organ transplants or other treatments not covered by NHI in Japan.
