Recently, Korea has seen a decline in the number of hours worked as well as the rapid spread of flexible working time arrangements. As is well known, the 52-hour workweek cap—allowing a maximum of 52 hours work per week, including overtime—was phased in by company size (workplaces with 300 employees or more from July 2018; workplaces with 50~299 employees from January 2020; and workplaces with 5~49 employees from July 2021). Also, the flexible working hour system was implemented with a unit period of 6 months in phases depending on the size
of the company (workplaces with 50 employees or more from April 6, 2021; and workplaces with 5~49 employees from July 2021).
