Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education Improves Treatment with 'Paid Leave' for Substitute Staff

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education announced on the 24th that it will improve the treatment of substitute personnel for general civil servant vacancies by granting sick leave and official leave.

Substitute personnel for general civil servant vacancies are staff operated to minimize administrative work gaps in educational sites when the number of general civil servants is insufficient compared to the authorized personnel or in cases of sick leave, vacation, or leave of absence. Recently, due to maternity leave and parental leave, the number of substitute personnel for general civil servant vacancies in educational sites has been increasing more than before.

Accordingly, the Office of Education explained that it decided to supplement the ambiguous standards regarding the handling of sick leave and the application of wage rates for substitute civil servants and improve working conditions. The main points include establishing up to 25 days of paid sick leave and official leave annually and revising the wage rate clauses to clearly apply changes in the market daily wage rates for the first and second halves of the year.

Park Jin-woo, Director of the General Affairs Division, emphasized, "We will improve the working conditions and welfare of substitute personnel for general civil servant vacancies working under difficult conditions to enhance their sense of belonging and pride as members of the Gyeongbuk education family."
