晚上看到群里也在转,虽说我信韩国人做得出来这种事但还是过于奇葩,就去搜了下原文,朝鲜日报(搜到的是英文版)上的
长话短说就是:政府想给企业减轻负担,加班不按日结算而是按周结算,每周超过40小时的部分才算加班费;于是韩国总工会按新规则给算了一笔账:那就是说每天上21.5小时的班(每4小时强制休息30分钟),连上两天43小时就只有3小时加班费且不会违规吗!
英文:
The South Korean government is looking to update its laws to allow for more flexible working hours. However, the labor sector in the nation is opposing the government’s proposals by using extreme examples, leading to criticism.
Currently, South Korea legally limits the number of working hours to 52 per week. However, the government recognizes that this limit might be problematic for businesses, and therefore planned to revise it.
Despite this, the labor sector in Korea has consistently opposed the proposed changes by presenting extreme and unrealistic examples to argue against the government. They claim that the loopholes in the system could lead to working up to a maximum of 90.5 hours per week and 21.5 hours per day, which has been criticized by some as an exaggeration.
Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that the 12-hour limit for overtime under the 52-hour workweek should be calculated on a weekly basis. Previously, any work exceeding 8 hours per day was considered overtime and evaluated for legality. Since the Supreme Court gave a new decision, the 52-hour workweek can now be applied flexibly on a weekly basis instead of being restricted to a daily basis.
However, dispute over this decision is still on-going within the labor sector of the nation.
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions criticized the decision, arguing that it could allow two consecutive days of working 21.5 hours each. As per the current labor standards, a maximum of 21.5 hours of work per day is possible if only the mandatory 30-minute break every four hours is applied.
If this logic is followed, working 21.5 hours for two days would amount to 43 hours per week. According to the Supreme Court’s decision, only 3 hours beyond the standard 40-hour workweek are recognized as overtime, so this would not constitute a violation (exceeding 12 hours).
On the other hand, if the previous standard of calculating overtime based on the excess of 8 hours per day were used, it would result in 13.5 hours of overtime in a single day, constituting a violation.
There has been considerable criticism that the logic of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions is unrealistic. Many argue that the examples presented by the Confederation are not only impractical but also greatly exaggerated.
An official from the Ministry of Employment and Labor has stated that it is practically impossible for someone to work two consecutive 21.5-hour days. This is because, without taking into account the time spent commuting, a person would have to spend a full 24 hours at their workplace to accomplish 21.5 hours of work. While it is possible to work up to 20 hours a day under the current 52-hour workweek system, this is not considered an ‘overnight labor system’.
A labor attorney mentioned, “Under labor law, if overtime work exceeds 8 hours a day or occurs on weekends, it must be compensated at 1.5 to 2.5 times the normal rate,” adding that “this poses a burden for many businesses.”
The labor sector has a history of exaggerating working hours. During the government’s inauguration, they claimed that one can work up to 90.5 hours per week when attempts were made to revise the work hour system.
This calculation seems unrealistic as it involves working seven days a week, starting from midnight on the first day, which is not feasible according to current laws that primarily consider a six-day workweek. Later on, they revised their claim stating that one can work up to 69 hours a week, but it’s difficult to find any real examples of such cases.
A government official stated, “The labor sector has made claims of working 69 hours per week and 21.5 hours per day, but there are no specific examples of such working conditions,” adding that “it’s an extreme calculation that is made only to oppose the labor reform.”
译文:
韩国政府正在考虑更新法律以允许更加灵活的工作时间。然而,该国的劳工部门通过举极端例子来反对政府的提案,引起了批评。
目前,韩国法律规定每周工作时间不得超过52小时。然而,政府认识到这一限制可能对企业有问题,因此计划对其进行修改。
尽管如此,韩国的劳工部门一直通过提出极端和不切实际的例子来反对政府的提案。他们声称系统中的漏洞可能导致每周最多工作90.5小时,每天工作21.5小时,这被一些人批评为夸大其词。
上个月,最高法院裁定52小时工作周下的加班时间上限应该以每周为基础计算。此前,任何超过每天8小时的工作都被视为加班并进行法律评估。由于最高法院做出了新的决定,52小时的工作周现在可以在每周的基础上灵活应用,而不是限制在每天。
然而,在该国劳工部门内部,对这一决定的争议仍在进行中。
韩国总工会批评了这一决定,认为它可能允许连续两天每天工作21.5小时。根据当前的劳动标准,如果只适用每四小时一次的强制性30分钟休息,一天最多可以工作21.5小时。
如果按照这个逻辑,连续工作两天每天工作21.5小时将达到每周43小时。根据最高法院的决定,只有超过标准的40小时工作周的3小时被视为加班,因此这不构成违规(超过12小时)。
另一方面,如果使用以前的标准,即以每天超过8小时为基础计算加班,将导致一天内的加班时间为13.5小时,构成违规。
对于韩国总工会的逻辑,有很多人批评其不切实际。许多人认为总工会提出的例子不仅不切实际,而且夸大其词。
劳动与就业部的一名官员表示,一个人要连续工作两天每天工作21.5小时实际上是不可能的。这是因为,不考虑通勤时间,一个人必须在工作场所度过整整24小时才能完成21.5小时的工作。虽然在当前的52小时工作周体系下可以工作20小时,但这并不被认为是“过夜劳动体系”。
一名劳动律师提到:“根据劳动法,如果每天超过8小时或在周末工作,必须以1.5到2.5倍的正常费率进行补偿”,并补充说“这对许多企业来说构成了负担”。
劳工部门一直以来都有夸大工时的历史。在政府成立之初,他们声称在尝试修改工时制度时,一个人可以每周工作多达90.5小时。
这种计算看起来不切实际,因为它涉及到每周连续工作七天,从第一天的午夜开始,而根据当前主要考虑六天工作周的法律,这是不可行的。后来,他们修改了他们的说法,表示一个人可以每周工作多达69小时,但很难找到这样的实际案例。
一名政府官员表示:“劳工部门一直声称每周工作69小时和每天工作21.5小时,但没有具体的例子,”并补充说“这只是为了反对劳动改革而做出的极端计算。” |
