Pro Tip
Reporting 帰社時間
In Japanese workplaces, it’s polite to notify your supervisor or team when you’ll return after leaving the office (e.g., 帰社時間は15時頃です). Use this phrase if you’re running late or need to adjust your schedule.
Word Origin
Composed of 帰社 (kisya, 'return to the company') + 時間 (jikan, 'time'). 帰社 is a compound verb formed from 帰る (kaeru, 'to return') + 社 (sha, 'company/office').
Usage Notes
Primarily used in Japanese corporate culture. Employees may specify their 帰社時間 when leaving the office temporarily (e.g., for a meeting or personal matter) to indicate when they’ll be back. Not commonly used for daily commutes.
