Jūyaku Shukkin (重役出勤 - Fashionably Late)

Jūyaku Shukkin

Arriving at work much later than the opening time, or just being late, is commonly referred to as 'jūyaku shukkin' (重役出勤) in Japanese.

Since 'jūyaku' (重役) means "executive" and 'shukkin' (出勤) means "attendance," the literal meaning of 'jūyaku shukkin' is "executives attendance."

This term was coined because executives do not have their working hours closely controlled by someone else, unlike regular employees.

In actual cases, this term is often used with a sarcastic nuance to someone who is late, such as "It's amazing that you can be as late as an executive."

重役は平社員とは異なり、就業時間を細かく管理されることがないため、このような言葉が生まれました。
