Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) is introducing a working hours savings leave system and a self-approval system for annual leave.

On the 17th, GH announced that it signed a 'Labor-Management Win-Win Practice Agreement for Work-Life Balance,' which includes the introduction of the working hours savings leave system and the self-approval system for annual leave, at the corporation's 5th-floor conference room in Suwon City.

The working hours savings leave system is a system that replaces and strengthens the compensatory leave system stipulated in Article 57 of the Labor Standards Act, allowing employees to work when necessary and freely take sufficient rest proportional to the hours worked.

The self-approval system for annual leave is a newly established system aimed at fostering a self-directed vacation culture, allowing employees to use leave by simply applying without the approval of a superior when submitting a leave request. GH believes this will greatly contribute to enhancing autonomy, increasing a sense of responsibility, and building a horizontal organizational culture.

Kim Minseong, Chairman of the GH Labor Union, said, "Based on this agreement, we hope that labor and management can work together to establish working conditions where work and life are harmonized."

Kim Seyong, President of GH, stated, "I hope that employees can fully guarantee their rightful rest and find a balance between work and life," adding, "We will continue to steadily implement personnel innovations in various ways so that our employees can work smartly and rest properly."
