The recommended monthly raise is 11,218 yen, Nippon TV News said, while Nishi-Nippon Shimbun reported a 3.01% increase. The bonus would be raised by 0.05 months to 4.70 months annually.

Nishi-Nippon Shimbun added that the comparison covered 101 private companies with at least 100 employees and a local office of at least 50 people, and that the bonus gap was 0.04 months, with prefectural employees at 4.65 months against 4.69 months in the private sector.
