給与デジタル払い、解禁へ　決済アプリで上限１００万円

　企業が賃金をスマートフォンの決済アプリの口座に入金する「給与のデジタル払い」が１３日、解禁される見通しになった。同日の労働政策審議会（厚生労働相の諮問機関）分科会で、厚労省はデジタル払いの上限額を１００万円とする案を提示。大きな異論はなく、同省は実施に向けた詰めの作業を進めることになった。年度内に国への答申や必要な省令改正などが行われる見込み。
　賃金は労働基準法上、現金での支払いが原則だが、銀行など金融機関への振り込みは認められている。今後は「ＰａｙＰａｙ（ペイペイ）」「楽天ペイ」に代表される決済アプリを手掛ける「資金移動業者」のうち、一定の条件を満たした業者を「給与のデジタル払い」を取り扱える業者として厚労相が指定することになる。（2022/09/13-21:53）

Japan is expected to allow businesses to pay salaries into employees' accounts of cashless payment services provided via smartphone apps.
   A subcommittee of the Labor Policy Council, which advises the labor minister, discussed the so-called digital salary payments at a meeting Tuesday.
   At the meeting, the labor ministry presented a plan to put a 1-million-yen cap on the amount of digital salary payments that can be made at one time and the balance of funds in cashless accounts used for such salary payments.
   With no major objections raised, the ministry will work on details of the new method of salary payments. The ministry will make a necessary revision to ordinances by the end of March 2023 after receiving a policy proposal covering the issue from the council.
   The labor standards law stipulates that salaries be paid in cash in principle. But companies are allowed to pay salaries into accounts held at banks and other financial institutions.
