LF Tricycle Implements Paid Leave System for COVID-19 Vaccination

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] LF affiliate Tricycle, which operates 'Half Club' and 'Boribori,' announced on the 18th that it has introduced vaccine leave for its employees. This is to actively protect employees from COVID-19 in accordance with government recommendations.

LF Tricycle recently decided to introduce vaccine leave as new vaccinations such as Janssen have been actively administered and the reservation service for leftover vaccines has expanded.

Employees who receive the vaccine are basically granted paid leave on the day of vaccination. If they feel unwell the day after vaccination, they can take paid leave without submitting additional documents such as a doctor's note and without deducting from their annual leave. The same leave policy applies for the second dose. This means that up to 4 days of leave are granted upon completion of the first and second vaccine doses.

Kwon Seong-guk, head of the Organizational Culture Team at LF Tricycle, said, "We decided to support leave so that employees do not hesitate to get vaccinated due to work burdens," adding, "We will continue to monitor the spread of COVID-19 and do our best to create a safe working environment in line with government policies."

Meanwhile, since the outbreak of COVID-19, LF Tricycle has been operating with reduced working hours company-wide. Working hours have been adjusted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to reduce employees' outdoor activities during peak commuting and school hours, and the company plans to continue flexible operations by continuously monitoring the trend of confirmed cases.
