Yahoo Japan to discard rules on employee location

Yahoo Japan Corp. is set to abolish residence restrictions to enable its about 8,000 employees to live anywhere in the country, the company said Wednesday.

From April, workers will for the first time be allowed to commute by airplane, express train or expressway bus. The company will pay individuals up to 150,000 yen in monthly travel fees.

By easing the restrictions, the company reportedly aims to create a comfortable working environment for its staff and secure able personnel.
