52-Hour Workweek
On Feb. 28, 2018, the National Assembly passed a revision bill to the Labor Standards Act, which calls for reducing the legal working hours per week from the current 68 hours to 52 hours. The revision stated that "a week is seven days," reducing the maximum working hours by 16 hours from the current 68 hours to 52 hours. The current 68 hours per week is due to the Ministry of Employment and Labor's interpretation of the state's unit as only "five days a week," while Saturday and Sunday were excluded from the calculation of legal work hours, adding eight hours each to the holiday work.
