When PHP Vulnerability Remediation Disrupts Subsidized Training: What Employers Should Record

2026-11-12 | Shinko Lab

A notice marked New on MHLW's Human Resources Development Support Subsidy page addresses training-system outages linked to PHP vulnerability remediation. Where neither employer nor worker is responsible, consult the competent Labour Bureau or Hello Work about change notifications.

A consultation notice, not a new subsidy

The notice does not guarantee an exemption or payment. It does not announce changes to eligible recipients, rates, ceilings, provider eligibility, pre-training procedures or payment obligations. Confirm the requirements for your particular course with the responsible office. It does not make training free.

Six records we recommend keeping

This is Shinko Lab's practical checklist, not a new official list of mandatory documents: (1) outage and restoration times, including time zone; (2) affected accounts, shared only with those who need them; (3) learning progress and completed work before and after the outage; (4) original logs, error screenshots and the provider's explanation, with passwords and other sensitive details removed; (5) proposed make-up dates, content and notices sent to learners; and (6) consultation dates, office contacts and responses. Preserve originals and export dates, save revisions separately, and distinguish planned make-up work from completed training. Ask us for our workplace Japanese course and LMS evidence checklist; subsidy eligibility must still be confirmed with the responsible office.
