[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) will grant special disaster relief leave to employees affected by flooding caused by the longest monsoon season in history, which lasted for 50 days.


On the 10th, an employee working at Dongdaemun-gu Office received news through contact with their parents living in Namwon-si, Jeonbuk, where 300mm of heavy rain recently poured, that the fence of their residence had collapsed. However, due to busy work, the employee could not visit and was left anxious.


Accordingly, the district announced on the 12th that it will grant special disaster relief leave of up to 3 days to employees affected by flood damage during the summer monsoon season so that they can focus on damage recovery and contribute to prompt restoration.


Employees who have suffered significant damage to life and property, including themselves, their spouse, their own and their spouse’s parents, and children due to this flood, can apply for special disaster relief leave within a range of up to 3 days depending on the extent of the damage.


Employees who use the special leave must submit a special disaster relief leave implementation report within 5 days after returning from leave, detailing the damage situation, site photos, and progress of restoration.


So far, the district has identified a total of 7 employees affected by flood damage. Their parents’ residences and farmland in areas such as Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do; Jincheon-gun, Chungbuk; Namwon-si, Jeonbuk; Gokseong-gun, Jeonnam; Damyang-gun, Jeonnam; and Sangju-si, Gyeongbuk, have been flooded, fences collapsed, and apples fallen, among other damages.



Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “Due to the longest monsoon season in history, many damages have occurred across the country. We granted special leave to employees affected by flooding so they can focus on damage recovery and take care of their families. We will actively encourage the use of special leave by employees affected by flood damage to contribute to recovery and help them work with a more stable mind.”
