[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Korea Industrial Complex Corporation (hereinafter referred to as KIC) announced on the 1st that it has introduced a 'Special Vaccine Leave System' together with the labor union to allow employees to receive COVID-19 vaccination without any burden.


The Special Vaccine Leave System agreed upon by KIC and the labor union is a '2+1 method' that grants special leave on the day of vaccination and the following day to encourage employees to participate in vaccination, and allows an additional day of special leave if there are any adverse reactions.


In February last year, when the COVID-19 crisis began in earnest, KIC labor and management quickly agreed and implemented measures such as the introduction of telecommuting and a Business Continuity Plan (BCP). KIC has maintained a 'COVID Zero' workplace with no confirmed COVID-19 cases so far.



Kim Jeong-hwan, Chairman of KIC, said, "Achieving herd immunity through vaccination is a national task to overcome the COVID-19 crisis and an obligation that our people must fulfill to restore daily life."
