Thank god – only one floating holiday… I’d much rather work a Saturday than have a Tu-Thu off… I can’t go camping anywhere special on the long weekend!

The Ministry of Labor reminded employers that Children’s Day on April 3 and Tomb Sweeping Day on April 4 are national holidays, so they must give employees these days off with pay.
Because Labor Day is a legal holiday for workers covered under the Labor Standards Act, and bank employees are included, banks whether private or government-owned are closed.
School teachers for example are not covered by the labor standards act and therefore even private schools will remain open.
But cram schools and private kindergartens will be closed because their teachers are covered by the labor standards act.
According to the amendment, the legislation would be implemented on the day it is promulgated by the president, meaning that there would be three additional holidays in the second half of this year on Sept. 28, Oct. 25 and Dec. 25.
