Violation
On September 4, 2024, the Fair Trade Commission issued a recommendation to Pal System Co-op Federation under the Subcontractor Payment Delay Prevention Law. The company, which operates as a consumer cooperative, subcontracted the manufacturing of private brand (PB) food products sold to its member cooperatives to small corporations with capital of 3 billion yen or less. Pal System deducted amounts from the subcontract payments, specifically for 'special sale conditions' from April 2023 to June 2024 and 'DC usage fees' from April 2023 to May 2024, totaling approximately 27.7 million yen across five subcontractors. This deduction was made by subtracting these amounts directly from the subcontract payments, constituting a violation of the law.
