It is read:

就業規則に従います。
しゅうぎょうきそく に したがいます。

• 就業規則 = しゅうぎょうきそく
• 従います = したがいます

In normal Japanese writing, it would usually be written without spaces: 就業規則に従います。
The spaces here are just to help learners see the parts more clearly.

就業規則 means work rules, employment regulations, or company work policies.

It is a fairly formal term, often used in workplaces, HR documents, contracts, and company handbooks.

Breakdown:

• 就業 = employment, working
• 規則 = rules, regulations

So 就業規則 is more specific and formal than a general word like ルール.

The particle に is used with 従う to mark what someone follows or obeys.

So:

• 就業規則に従う = to follow the work rules
• 法律に従う = to obey the law
• 指示に従う = to follow instructions

With 従う, Japanese normally uses に, not を.

You can think of it as meaning in accordance with or in obedience to.

Because 従う does not usually take a direct object with を in this pattern.

In English, we say follow the rules, where the rules is the direct object.
But in Japanese, 従う works differently:

• rules + に + 従う

So the Japanese grammar is not a word-for-word match with English.

This is a very common thing in Japanese: some verbs use particles differently from what an English speaker might expect.

The dictionary form is 従う (したがう).

• dictionary/plain form: 従う
• polite form: 従います

This verb means to follow, to obey, or to act in accordance with, depending on context.

従います is the polite non-past form.

Japanese often uses ます-forms in:

• formal situations
• workplace language
• speaking to people you are not close to
• written notices and official statements

Since 就業規則 is already a formal workplace term, 従います sounds natural here.

Compare:

• 就業規則に従う。 = plain style
• 就業規則に従います。 = polite style

The subject is omitted, which is very common in Japanese.

So by itself, the sentence does not explicitly say:

• I
• we
• employees
• you
• etc.

The subject is understood from context.

Depending on the situation, it could mean:

• I follow the work rules.
• We follow the work rules.
• Employees must follow the work rules.
• Please act according to the work rules.
  
  • though this last one would usually be phrased differently

Japanese often leaves out information that is already clear from the situation.

Yes.

従います can be translated in several ways depending on context:

• follow
• obey
• comply with
• act according to

For 就業規則に従います, natural English translations might include:

• I follow the company work rules.
• I comply with the employment regulations.
• I obey the workplace rules.

So the exact English wording changes, even though the Japanese stays the same.

This is a very common question, because both can relate to rules.

従います

Focuses on:

• following
• obeying
• acting in accordance with something

Example:

• 規則に従います。 = I follow the rules.

守ります

Focuses on:

• keeping
• observing
• protecting, depending on context

Example:

• 規則を守ります。 = I obey/keep the rules.

For rules, both can sometimes be translated similarly in English, but the grammar changes:

• 規則に従う
• 規則を守る

In this sentence, 従います sounds especially formal and appropriate for regulations or instructions.

Yes, very natural.

Because:

• 就業規則 is a formal workplace term
• 従います is polite and formal
• the whole sentence sounds appropriate for business, HR, training materials, or official statements

It would fit in contexts like:

• orientation materials
• written pledges
• HR explanations
• employee conduct statements

The basic structure is:

noun + に + verb

More specifically:

• 就業規則 = the work rules / employment regulations
• に = marks what is followed
• 従います = follow / obey

So the sentence pattern is:

[thing being followed] + に + 従います

This is different from English, where we say:

• follow the rules

But in Japanese the verb comes at the end, which is normal:

• rules + に + follow

従います is the non-past form, so it can mean either:

• present: I follow
• future: I will follow

Japanese does not always separate present and future the way English does.
The actual meaning depends on context.

So this sentence could mean:

• I follow the work rules.
• I will follow the work rules.

Both are possible.
