The ‘Gyeonggi Family-Friendly Company 0.5&0.75 Job’ project is one of the key tasks in the second half of the 8th Gyeonggi Province administration. It refers to reducing working hours from the standard 40 hours per week to 20 hours (0.5 job) or 30 hours (0.75 job). This policy aims to prevent career interruptions and promote work-life balance by spreading a flexible work culture.

The province supports workers of companies certified as Gyeonggi Family-Friendly to utilize the 0.5&0.75 job working hour reduction system once the company adopts it.

For companies, support includes ▲consulting for system implementation ▲support for attendance system establishment (up to 20 million KRW) ▲additional employment incentives when hiring replacement workers (up to 1.2 million KRW per month). In particular, consulting for system implementation is provided to all applying companies, while support for attendance system establishment is given to companies selected through a separate review process.

For workers, ▲salary compensation for reduced working hours (up to 300,000 KRW per month) ▲and a sharing support fund of up to 200,000 KRW per month is provided to colleagues who share the workload of reduced-hour workers.

Through this project, companies can expect effects such as securing excellent talent, improving organizational culture, and enhancing employee satisfaction. Workers can also harmoniously balance work with childcare, housework, self-development, and health management, leading to an improved quality of life.

Companies wishing to participate can apply through the Gyeonggi Job Foundation’s integrated application system, and for more details, inquiries can be made to the Southern Regional Project Team of the Gyeonggi Job Foundation.

Yoon Young-mi, Director of the Gyeonggi Province Women and Family Bureau, said, “We hope this project will be an opportunity for companies and workers to grow together and realize practical work-life balance,” adding, “We look forward to active participation from many companies and workers.”
