Release of Key Points for Reviewing Executive Compensation Design Following the April 2026 Increase in the 'Zaishoku Rorei Nenkin' Base Amount (510k to 650k)

The Claire Human Resources Ikuei Association (Headquarters: Kioicho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yasuhiro Sakai) has released an explanatory video on the points to consider regarding executive compensation design due to the increase in the base amount for the 'Zaishoku Rorei Nenkin' (working old-age pension) to be enforced in April 2026. Furthermore, we will hold individual interviews for media representatives on Thursday, May 28, 2026.

From April 2026, the base amount for the suspension of payment for the working old-age pension will be increased from 510,000 yen to 650,000 yen. This is a significant opportunity to review compensation design for those who have previously kept executive compensation low to avoid pension reductions. Because suspended pension payments are not retroactively returned, early confirmation based on the revised contents is essential.
