From the entrance in 2025, if "normally has night shifts at least twice a month", you will be required to certify in a different form (night shift certificate) from the employment certificate.
If you fall under the "Normal night shift twice or more a month" described in the night shift certificate, ask your employer to create a form.
In addition, instead of creating the form, it is also possible to write "There is a night shift at least twice a month" in the remarks column (No. 18) of the employment certificate. In that case, if there is no description of "twice or more per month" (for example, if there is no description of the number of times per month or only working hours), it is assumed that there is no night shift at least twice a month.
