How the working week works in South Korea
South Korea caps the working week at 52 hours, 40 regular plus 12 overtime, under the 2018 reform. Substitute holidays now apply to most public holidays: when one falls on a weekend, the following Monday is off. Seollal and Chuseok each block out three days and dominate domestic travel.
