UPDATED UPDATE: Have to wait a month before final paycheck: Got paid; applying corrected payslip, withholding slip, and year-end adjustment myself

Hi all, thanks so much for all the help I’ve gotten from this sub (public and private). I hope my predicament can also help someone else in need in the future (my prior posts are copied in the bottom).

Basically, my company wanted to only pay me after returning abroad, and I would have incurred a large surtax. Once I faxed Labor Law to them, they finally paid (after refusing at first)…but wouldn’t give me my payslip and tax withholding slip. After two weeks of getting nowhere, I faxed again, and received the payslip…but with pay clipped off for “unpaid leave” that was actually approved. My company said they paid, but I didn’t receive the pay, and didn’t get a new payslip or withholding slip.

So, I went to the Labor Office. They were extremely patient, generous, and helpful. Today, I went back, and my pay arrived in my account while I was in the office! (It is possible that it took two days to process, true, but this payment doesn’t have 給与 next to it like the other payments do, but instead 振込, so it looks like they literally sent it while I was in the Office in real time.)

So, one problem solved, but the date and amount on the payslip and withholding slip needs to be fixed, and the year-end adjustment needs to be done. The Labor Office explained that I will have to go to the tax office for that, and I’ll be heading there shortly.

This is my last day in Japan, and probably last post here, so any advice on how to do this would be welcome! Thanks to everyone in the community for their support and wisdom. さよなら！

Edit: Went to the tax office, and they were able to handle the year-end adjustment in about 45 minutes. I hope everything was cleared up! Good stuff.
