Saikawa did not say how big the pay cuts would be or who else would take them. He said “voluntary return of a part of his pay” started last month and will continue through March 2018, the end of the fiscal year. Earlier Friday, Nissan submitted to the government a report on its investigation into the scandal. It said the investigation found workers in training, not authorized to carry out inspections, were routinely conducting the tests, borrowing and using the “hanko,” or traditional Japanese seals that often are used in lieu of signatures, of certified personnel.
