annual leave

South Korea is implementing major labor reforms, including a 4.5-day workweek with no pay cuts, reducing weekly work hours from 52 to 48. The government aims to lower average annual working hours to below the OECD average by 2030. Other changes include expanded annual leave eligibility and promoting flexible work arrangements like adjusted schedules and remote work, with incentives for businesses. These policies aim to improve work-life balance and align with international standards.
