In addition, the Democratic Party initiated a revision of the law to expand the scope of the Labor Standards Act to workplaces with fewer than five employees. Under the current law, workplaces with four or less employees are exempt from major working conditions such as dismissal restrictions, legal working hours, annual leave, and extended, nighttime, and holiday allowances. However, if the ruling party-led amendment to the Labor Standards Act passes the National Assembly, PC cafes, convenience stores, and beauty salons are expected to be hit directly by the aftermath of the regulation.
The Environmental Labor Committee held a plenary meeting on the 16th and proposed an amendment to the Labor Standards Act, initiated by Democratic Party lawmakers Yoon Jun-byung, Lee Soo-jin, and Justice Party lawmaker Kang Eun-mi, respectively. If the amendment is passed immediately, workplaces with less than 5 employees must work within 52 hours per week, and both annual paid leave and menstrual leave and leave allowances must be paid. Accordingly, small business owners and self-employed business owners with fewer than five employees are protesting, saying that it is a bill that promotes criminals in an already difficult situation due to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). However, some of the politicians also raised the prospect that the possibility of prompting the bill to be dealt with quickly is low, as the government’s ruling party is pursuing a loss compensation system for small business owners.
