"Need for Integrated Operation of Time-Selective Public Officials After Abolition of Time-Selective System"

The National Time-Selective Public Officials Union (Chairperson Jeong Seong-hye) held a "National Assembly Forum for the Integrated Operation of Time-Selective Hired Public Officials and Time-Selective Converted Public Officials" at 2 PM on the 11th in the National Assembly Members' Office Building, Meeting Room 1.

Jeong Seong-hye, Chairperson of the Time-Selective Union, stated, "This year marks the 10th anniversary since the introduction of 'time-selective hired public officials' by law. The 'time-selective hired public officials,' which the government promoted as quality jobs, had about 3,600 employees nationwide as of the end of December 2022, with a resignation or dropout rate reaching 40%. Although they work the same hours as full-time public officials including overtime, they face discrimination in areas such as time negotiation rights, calculation of promotion periods, and calculation of leave periods simply because they work shorter hours. Therefore, we held this National Assembly forum to abolish the time-selective hired public officials system and integrate it with the time-selective converted public officials system."

Kim Hyun-jin, Chairperson of the Public Officials Labor Union Federation, encouraged, "I hope that the voices from the field and expert opinions will be properly reflected in today's forum to establish desirable policy alternatives. The Public Officials Federation will pay close attention to the policy alternatives derived from the forum and work together with comrades from the Time-Selective Public Officials Union to realize them to the best of our ability."
