Toyota Raises Temporary Worker Allowance to Record 1 Million Yen
Toyota Motor announced on August 7 that it will raise the special allowance for temporary workers to 1 million yen from 600,000 yen, a record high. The measure applies to workers hired from September onward as part of a limited-time recruitment campaign to boost applications amid strong production. Toyota previously offered the same 1 million yen allowance for workers hired from May to August 2025, then reduced it back to 600,000 yen after that period. The new raise matches the previous peak.

Toyota had previously implemented a similar campaign in 2025, when it first raised the allowance to 1 million yen for workers hired between May and August 2025.
