From early next year, both parents will be allowed to take simultaneous childcare leave in Korea.
Family care leave will also be extended to grandparents and grandchildren.
Park Se-young has more.
Starting next February, the Korean government will allow both the mother and father to take childcare leave at the same time for the same child.
The Cabinet has approved a change to the Act on Equal Employment and Support for Work-Family Reconciliation, …getting rid of the ban on working parents from simultaneously taking leave for the same child.
Also, from the effective date of February 28th, both parents will be able to get childcare allowances.
Another change is the introduction of family care leave starting January 1st.
Employees will be able to take off up to ten days per year due to family illness, accidents, old age or the raising of children.
And the use of family care leave, …which had been allowed only for parents, spouses, children and parents in-law, …will be extended next year to grandparents and grandchildren.
Workers will get flexibility on their hours, too.
Under changes to the equal employment act passed in August... employees will be able to reduce their hours for reasons like family care, their health, or to pursue training and education... as long as it can be shown that it won't hurt their employer's business.
This will first apply next year to public institutions and workplaces with more than 300 employees, …before being expanded to all workplaces by 2022.
