❓ 자주 묻는 법정 질문 (FAQ)
What are the statutory overtime, night, and holiday wage multipliers under Korean labor law?
Under Article 56 of the Labor Standards Act (근로기준법): (1) Extended Overtime (연장근로): 1.5 times the ordinary hourly wage (50% premium); (2) Night Work (야간근로: 22:00 to 06:00): +0.5 times ordinary hourly wage (cumulative, so overtime performed at night pays 2.0x); (3) Holiday Work (휴일근로): 1.5 times for work up to 8 hours, and 2.0 times for hours worked in excess of 8 hours.
How does night work stack with extended overtime in Korea?
Korean labor law applies cumulative premiums: an employee who works overtime between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM receives 1.0x (base work) + 0.5x (overtime premium) + 0.5x (night premium) = 2.0x ordinary hourly wage for those hours.
What businesses are exempt from paying overtime premiums under Article 56?
Under Article 11 of the Labor Standards Act, workplaces with fewer than 5 permanent employees (5인 미만 사업장) are exempt from the mandatory 50% premium requirements for overtime, night, and holiday work (they only pay 1.0x ordinary wage for hours worked).
What is the statutory weekly maximum overtime limit in Korea?
Under Article 53 of the Labor Standards Act (52-Hour Work Week System), overtime work is legally limited to a maximum of 12 hours per week, bringing the maximum total working hours to 52 hours (40 basic + 12 overtime) per week.
Can an employer grant compensatory time off (보상휴가제) instead of paying overtime?
Yes. Under Article 57 of the Labor Standards Act, an employer and the employee representative may enter into a written agreement to grant compensatory paid leave corresponding to the premium multipliers in lieu of paying overtime wages.
