Save labor cost for housing allowance, rent subsidy and commutation allowance

Average monthly rent in Hamamatsu is 55,000 yen for 1 bedroom apartment and 70,000 yen for 2 bedroom + 1 living room apartment. (Source:SUUMO Tokai）

Payment base of housing allowance and rent subsidy should depend on the company. However, because of the nature of financial assistance, the amount of allowance can be reduced.

In addition, as employees can commute to the office by using their private cars or short-distance public transportation, the amount of commutation allowance can be significantly reduced.
