Tokyo, Japan, October 06, 2011 — Tokyo Bay Traders today announced it would pay eligible Japanese staff a minimum 4% salary increase from July 2012. Staff will continue to have access to additional performance pay of between 2% and 7%.

Tokyo Bay Traders has also introduced a range of other initiatives for staff in recent years including:

• the ability for all staff to salary sacrifice for pension/annuity schemes.

• providing staff with heavily subsidised PCs for home use.

• flexible leave options including parental leave, opportunities for career breaks and pro-rata
access to long service leave for eligible staff.

• paid volunteering leave to support staff involved in community work.

Tokyo Bay Traders Head of Human Resources Ms Chinatsu Koda said the pay increase was fair in a more subdued operating environment.

“The 2012 salary increase is above inflation and takes into account competitor and market pay rates, and the company’s position as a leading employer,” said Ms Koda.

“We are delivering on our promise to pay a fair and competitive salary increase to our people. Staff can expect a further pay increase in July 2013.

“We are building a strong relationship with our people and it is pleasing that since July 2010 staff satisfaction has risen from 58% to 78% in February 2011,” she said.

The increase follows the 4% increases paid to staff in 20110 and 2011. Tokyo Bay Traders staff will continue to work under their  terms and conditions of their contract agreements.
Eligible staff will receive the 4% increase effective 11 July 2012.
