Samsung Electronics Implements Monthly Four-Day Work Week System

Samsung Electronics will partially implement a four-day work week system once a month starting this month.

According to the industry, starting this month, Samsung Electronics will introduce a ‘monthly holiday system’ that allows employees to take one day off each month if they meet the required working hours each month.

According to the monthly holiday system, Samsung Electronics employees can take a break every Friday of the week on the 21st, which is the monthly pay day.

However, production workers who work in 4 groups and 3 shifts are excluded.

Previously, in April, labor and management of Samsung Electronics agreed to implement the welfare system through a labor-management council.

At this labor-management council, we also agreed on a welfare benefit plan that allows up to three days of mandatory annual leave to be carried over to the next year.
