Abstract:

In this paper, we adapt Bell and Hart’s model (1999) to examine paid overtime work by using Japanese
Survey of Company Fringe Benefits data which includes information on the employer’s provision of
fringe benefits as well as paid overtime hours for individuals. By including a crucial labor demand
variable- the quasi-fixed cost which is omitted from Bell and Hart’s (1999) report, the present study
provides more complete documentation of the structure of labor costs with paid overtime work.
