[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Kim Jinpyo, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, has decided to pilot a four-day workweek system for the staff working in his office.
On the 7th, Kim issued a press release stating, "The staff in the offices of National Assembly members often fall into a legal blind spot where the five-day workweek or 52-hour workweek regulations are not properly observed."
Kim plans to first pilot the system by having office staff work only four days a week once a month and aim to use all their annual leave, then gradually expand the system.
