I may have translated this article somewhat unclearly. I’m honestly not sure though maybe it’s more my lack of familiarity with NHK’s salary rules and parliamentary proceedings around it. Regardless, it’s not the most easily comprehensible article in Japanese to begin with and I don’t think my translation helped that much. But who’s to say? That would be you, my presumably non-existent readers.
ＮＨＫ、基本給など17年度メド１割 削減 賃金見直し提示
2013/2/12 19:41
ＮＨＫは12日、ＮＨＫ職員で構成する日 本放送労働組合（日放労）に対し、賃金の 見直しを提示した。組合員の基本給と賞与 などを段階的に見直し、2017年度をメド に現行水準から１割減らす。国会で職員給 与の見直しを求める声が高まっているほ か、受信料引き下げを受けて収益構造の改 革が急務となっている。
提示を受けた日放労は「提示内容を踏ま え、３月上旬にまとめる労使交渉の要求案 を考えていく」としている
組合員の基本給と賞与と、管理職の基本 年俸の引き下げを図る。賃金カーブの上げ 幅を現行より圧縮する方針。早ければ13年 度の賞与などから見直す。時間外手当など は据え置く。圧縮幅など詳細は労使間で今 後、議論するため、引き下げによる人件費 の削減額は未定だという。
14年度の定期人事異動から管理職の登用 試験制度や、勤務地を限定する地域職員制 度の新設も提示した。ＮＨＫは全国均一賃 金のため、地域限定配属により地方職員の 賃金を抑える狙いだ。 ＮＨＫ職員の平均年収は1185万円 （11年度）で、国会では人件費の見直しを 求める意見が昨年から高まっていた。一 方、昨年10月からは受信料を口座・クレ ジット払いで月額120円引き下げた。13年 度予算は収支均衡を計画するが、人件費の 削減で収益安定につなげる。

NHK to reduce base salaries by 10% in 2017, as part of salary reform proposal
NHK announced on the 12, a proposal on salary reform targeting the NHK employees who make up the Japan Broadcast Workers Union (JBWU). The base salary and bonus of union workers would be revised in a stepwise fashion, with the goal of decreasing the operating standard by 10% starting in 2017. In Parliament, there has been a growing call for revising employee salaries, as well as reducing the TV licensing fee and a reform of the revenue structure have become urgent business.
The JBWU received the proposal and stated, “Based on the contents of the proposal, we will request labor negotiations to start in the first part of May.”
In addition to union workers base pay and bonus, the proposal also aims to lower management’s base salary. It plans to shrink the expansion of the salary cap as well. It also looks to revise bonuses as early as Fiscal Year 2013. It leaves overtime pay as is. The details of the scale of reductions in labor time are still under discussion and so projecting an amount of the decrease in labor costs due to these reductions is yet to be determined.
It also the establishment of a managerial promotion system from the standard personnel movements in Fiscal Year 2014 as well as a local employees system that limits local work locations. NHK has a national, uniform salary system, aiming to constrain the salaries of local employees through limiting their assignment within regions.
The average NHK employee annual salary is 11,850,000 yen (FY2011), and the call for reviewing personal costs has been strengthening in Parliament since last year. On the other hand, starting last October, TV license fees paid by account transfer or credit card received a 120 yen monthly reduction. The 2013 budget plans for equal revenue so reducing personnel costs will help to stabilize revenue.
