All Gyeonggi-do Employees to Take 'Special Leave' in May

Gyeonggi Provincial Government Gwanggyo New Office Building

All employees of Gyeonggi Province will take a one-day 'special leave' in May to celebrate Family Month.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 24th that Governor Kim Dong-yeon decided to grant special leave to all employees, considering the need for recharging after responding to COVID-19, African Swine Fever (ASF), wildfires, ongoing prosecution raids, and audits by the Board of Audit and Inspection.

The current "Gyeonggi Province Public Officials Service Ordinance" (Article 20, Paragraph 18) allows the governor to grant special leave of up to three days if an official works at night or on holidays due to disasters or emergencies, or if outstanding achievements or contributions in provincial administration or job performance are recognized.

Accordingly, provincial office employees can choose any date in May to take leave and spend time with their families.

Governor Kim Dong-yeon said, "I hope this special leave will serve as some compensation for our provincial employees who have devoted themselves to their duties with a strong sense of mission as servants for the residents."

However, the governor added, "Please pay close attention to prior coordination before taking leave to ensure that there are no disruptions to work or inconveniences to the residents."

This is the first time that Gyeonggi Province has implemented special leave for all employees in celebration of Family Month.
