What is 주휴수당 (weekly holiday allowance)?

It is a paid weekly rest day required by Korean labor law for anyone working 15+ hours a week who works their full scheduled hours. For a 40-hour worker it equals 8 hours × hourly wage per week; part-timers get it in proportion (weekly hours ÷ 40 × 8).

How is the monthly wage from an hourly rate calculated?

Monthly pay = hourly wage × monthly paid hours. Monthly paid hours = (weekly work hours + weekly holiday hours) × 4.345 average weeks. For full-time 40h/week this is 209 hours.

What is the 2026 minimum wage?

10,320 KRW per hour (up 2.9% from 2025), which is about 2,156,880 KRW per month at 209 hours. It applies from January 1, 2026 to all workplaces nationwide.
