Korea Annual Leave Calculator: Days and Unused Leave Pay
Calculate annual leave (yeoncha) in Korea: 15 days after a year, one more every 2 years up to 25, 1 a month in the first year, and pay for unused days.
The days of a year assume 80% attendance in the previous year. Unused days not covered by the employer's leave-use promotion are paid at the ordinary wage when the year ends or on leaving.
What it does
Under article 60 of the Labor Standards Act, an employee who attends 80% of a year gets 15 days of paid annual leave, plus one day for every 2 years after the first, up to 25 days. In the first year, or with less than 80% attendance, one day is earned for each full month worked, up to 11.
How to use it
- Choose the start date and the date you want to check.
- Add the hourly wage, the daily hours and the days already used.
- Read the leave days, the days left and their value.
