Overtime Pay y/y reflects a change in extra pays for overtime hours to Japanese employees in the current month compared to the same month a year ago.

Generally, the growth of wages and overtime pays reflects the economy expansion. However, since these data do not change much in Japan, the impact of the publication on national currency quotes is low.
