[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Paid vaccine leave will be introduced across the entire financial sector.

On the 4th, the National Financial Industry Labor Union announced that it has reached a tentative agreement with the Financial Industry Employers' Council (employer side) to implement paid COVID-19 vaccine leave, allowing two basic days off plus an additional day. Accordingly, paid vaccine leave will be introduced at 38 banks and financial institutions affiliated with the Financial Union.

According to the tentative agreement, employees can take leave on the day of vaccination and the following day, and if adverse reactions occur, they can take an additional day off without providing supporting documents. The final agreement is expected to be reached on the 7th.

The Financial Union explained that this is "to achieve early herd immunity and to protect customers and employees."
