Japanese term
Not a translator
企画業務型裁量労働制
Japanese to English
Bus/Financial
Human Resources
Hello,
It's a term used within a text about working time arrangements and categorized under "勤務形態". As it seems there are four systems:
1. 専門業務型裁量労働制
2. 企画業務型裁量労働制
3. フレックスタイム制
4. 通常勤務制
I understand 3 and 4, but I am not sure about the right translation for the first two. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Best regards,
Franky

discretionary labor system
1. specialist class discretionary labor system
2. project team class discretionary labor system
My instincts tell me that the Japanese itself is a little stretched on the first two, but I think these are appropriate terms. 専門業務 and 企画業務 could be interpreted differently depending on the context of the work obviously, but you would need to give us more information on exactly what you are translating. They could also be bracketed if you like:
1. discretionary labor system (specialist class)
2. discretionary labor system (project team class)

Comment: "Hi Jonathan,
Sorry for the very late reply. I have been quite busy. I think I found the answers. Currently two different discretionary labour systems exist:
specialty services model
project operations model
Kind regards,

Thank you both very mich for your answers. I absolutely agree that 裁量労働制 means discretionary labour system. But I am not sure about the term before (企画業務型).
Jonathan, I like your your suggestions. Something like that would have been my guess, but I have never heard such a word in the English language. Does it exist, at all? Also, why did you put "project team" instead of "planning" or "planning business".
Thank both of you much for your help. I appreciate it.
Best regards,
