A certified private nursery in Hyogo Prefecture that was found to be secretly accepting more children than its designated capacity had also been docking the pay of teachers who came in late by ¥10,000, according to the prefectural government.

Teachers of Wanzu Mazah Hoikuen in the city of Himeji reportedly also told municipal officials that no overtime allowances were paid.

The municipal government reported the case to the Himeji Labor Standards Inspection Office in February, alleging the nursery violated the Labor Standards Law.
