"I got verbal approval" "I told them the amount via chat" — Have you ever had the experience of proceeding this way, only to end up in a "he said, she said" dispute later about who said what and who didn't hear it?
The "Freelance New Law" (Act on Appropriate Transactions for Specified Commissioned Business Operators) that came into effect in November 2024 imposes an obligation on ordering businesses to clearly indicate 9 items—including compensation amount, payment date, and payment method—in writing or by electronic means. The payment date must also be set to "within 60 days of receiving the deliverable, in as short a period as possible." In January 2026, the "Appropriate Transaction Law" (Tekiteki-hou), which succeeds the Subcontracting Act, will also take effect, expanding the range of applicable businesses (with the addition of employee-based criteria).
With Crewbook, you can create a series of documents from quotations and proposals through contracts, delivery notes, and invoices. By documenting the amount, payment date, and scope of work and confirming them with electronic signatures—this normal workflow itself becomes the record of "written clarification" that the new law requires.
・ Document the amount and scope of work at the quotation and proposal stage
・ Specify the payment date and payment method in the contract and confirm with electronic signature
・ Invoices and delivery notes also remain connected within the same project
Take the conditions that were previously handled only through chat or verbal discussion and keep them as documents for each project. That alone creates a record you can refer back to later.

「口頭でOKもらったから」「チャットで金額は伝えたし」——そうやって話を進めてしまい、あとから「言った」「聞いていない」の水掛け論になった経験はありませんか。
2024年11月に施行された「フリーランス新法」（特定受託事業者に係る取引の適正化等に関する法律）は、発注事業者に対して、報酬額・支払期日・支払方法など9項目を書面または電磁的方法で明示する義務を課しています。支払期日も「給付を受け取った日から60日以内のできるだけ短い期間」に定めるルールです。2026年1月には下請法を引き継ぐ「取適法」も施行され、対象となる事業者の範囲が広がります（従業員基準の追加）。
Crewbookでは、見積書・提案書から契約書・納品書・請求書までを一連の書類として作成できます。金額・支払期日・業務内容を書類化して電子サインで確定させる——この普段の流れそのものが、新法が求める「書面での明示」の記録になります。
・ 見積・提案の時点で金額と業務範囲を書類化
・ 契約書で支払期日・支払方法を明記し、電子サインで確定
・ 請求書・納品書も同じ案件の中でつながって残る
チャットや口頭のやり取りだけで進めていた条件を、案件ごとに書類として残す。それだけで、あとから見返せる記録になります。
