Juggernaut Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tomohito Hirai), whose mission is to "revolutionize the back office of the security industry," has released a new feature called the "Midnight Break Feature" for its DX solution platform for the security industry, "KOMAINU (Koma Inu)". This feature manages breaks during the midnight hours separately from regular break times and automatically deducts them from midnight working hours.

This will completely automate the complex calculation of midnight premium wages for security sites that frequently involve night shifts and 24-hour shifts (duty shifts), realizing a further "dramatic evolution" of back-office operations. It supports both Type 1 and Type 2 security services.

Background of Development and Industry Challenges: The "Risk of Payroll Errors" Caused by Analog Manual Calculations

In the security industry, many shifts span midnight hours, such as night shifts and duty shifts. According to the Labor Standards Act, midnight premium wages are incurred for work performed during midnight hours (10 PM to 5 AM). However, breaks taken during these hours are not actual work and must be excluded from the premium calculation.

In many traditional management systems and structures, break times could only be registered in their entirety. This required managers to manually calculate and deduct how much of the break time fell within midnight hours for each employee. This process is not only extremely cumbersome and a significant workload for staff but also poses a serious challenge as it is prone to transcription errors and payroll mistakes (overpayment or underpayment).

Overview of the New "Midnight Break Feature"

Ideal for security companies with many duty shifts and night shifts. Intelligently automates complex "midnight spanning break times." Supports both Type 1 and Type 2 security services.

The newly added "Midnight Break Feature" allows for the pre-registration of "midnight break times" separately from regular "break times" when setting up contract work patterns.

By registering work patterns in advance, midnight break times can be set. Since multiple patterns can be registered according to contracts, it allows for flexible対応.

* In the security industry, if breaks are taken by workers in rotation (not all at once), a labor-management agreement based on Article 34, Paragraph 2 of the Labor Standards Act regarding the "Exemption from the Principle of Simultaneous Granting of Breaks" must be concluded.

When entering actual work records, simply pressing the "Auto-Input Button" allows the system to automatically deduct the registered midnight break time from the working hours during the midnight period (automatic deduction).

If the work pattern is registered, all that's needed is to press the auto-input button when entering actual work records.

This eliminates the need for manual adjustments in payroll calculations for night shifts.

Benefits of Implementation

Prevention of Calculation Errors: The system automatically calculates the correct hours subject to midnight premiums. It ensures compliance with labor regulations and prevents overpayment or underpayment of wages.

Dramatic Reduction in Workload: Once set in the work pattern, it is automatically reflected when entering daily work records. This eliminates the time staff spend calculating with calculators.

Ideal for Sites with Many Night Shifts and Duty Shifts: It powerfully and efficiently streamlines back-office operations for security companies that handle many night shifts, such as facility security and nighttime traffic control.

[Calculation Breakdown] Specific Example of Automatic Calculation

This is a calculation example for a work pattern where "scheduled working hours per day: 8 hours" and "midnight break: 1 hour" are registered in advance.

[Work Example] Working hours including the midnight period (10:00 PM to 5:00 AM)

Total hours in the midnight period: 7 hours (10:00 PM to 5:00 AM)

Automatic Calculation Steps:

The system automatically deducts the pre-registered "1 hour midnight break" from the 7 hours in the midnight period.

It automatically calculates the actual midnight working hours as "6 hours."

* Note that hours not falling within the midnight period (e.g., 2 hours from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM) are appropriately processed as regular working hours. Additionally, if the actual working hours per day, excluding break time, exceed 8 hours, overtime premiums will be automatically calculated for the excess.

Staff can complete this calculation instantly by simply pressing the auto-input button on the work record input screen.

Changing the Norm of Night Shift Management with DX and Supporting the Next Generation of the Security Industry

With the addition of the "Midnight Break Feature," the long-standing challenge in the security industry of "complex night shift payroll calculations" is now fully automated within KOMAINU. It frees staff from manual calculations and verification work, simultaneously strengthening compliance through accurate payroll calculations and achieving overwhelming efficiency in back-office operations.

Juggernaut Inc., with its mission to "revolutionize the back office of the security industry," will continue to develop features that closely align with the real voices of the field. Through user-friendly features for all personnel and continuous updates, including the midnight break feature, we aim to lead the DX of the security industry, which is facing labor shortages, and provide a system that allows all security companies to experience "dramatic evolution in the field."

Future Outlook

Through approximately 30-40 updates each month, we continuously reflect the voices of our contracted companies directly into the system. We will continue to promote further DX in security operations through "KOMAINU." By repeatedly implementing updates that incorporate feedback from the field and improve usability, we aim to become the most user-friendly and trusted platform for all managers, personnel, and client companies.

What KOMAINU Can Do

(Development Background) In many security sites, analog systems are common, such as managing direct-reporting security personnel's shift changes via phone, LINE, or whiteboards, leading to a lack of centralized information and issues with personalization. Furthermore, traditional systems are often complex to operate and are not fully utilized. To solve these issues, "KOMAINU" is cloud-based and accessible from anywhere with a web connection. With 30-40 updates per month, it reflects the voices of contracted companies and achieves intuitive and easy-to-use operability.
