東京中央給与計算センター（東京中央社会保険労務士事務所）

Tokyo Chuo Payroll Calculation Center (Tokyo Chuo Certified Social Insurance and Labour Consultant Office) handles payroll calculation and HR administration for small companies, concentrating on businesses with 50 or fewer employees. It cites 20 years of payroll experience and prices payroll outsourcing from 600 yen per employee per month, with the base fee waived when the service is taken together with its retained labour consultant contract.

The firm offers full payroll outsourcing covering payroll calculation, social insurance procedures and year-end tax adjustment, as well as back-office tasks charged by the hour or by the job, such as onboarding paperwork, social insurance filings, employment contracts, and subsidy and grant applications. For companies that would rather run payroll themselves, it supplies cloud-based HR and payroll tools with a year of implementation support. A retained labour consultant service covers subsidy and grant applications, digitalisation of back-office work, and the design of HR and personnel systems.

Work is carried out by email, telephone and video meetings for small and medium-sized companies anywhere in Japan, and payslips can be issued electronically rather than on paper. The service is aimed at owner-managers who want to keep executive salary information away from staff, who find outsourcing cheaper than employing dedicated payroll staff, or who want to spend more time on running the business. The firm states that enquiries are answered within one business day.
