In Korea, if you are scheduled for 15 hours or more a week and work all your scheduled days, you earn extra paid hours for the weekly day off. Part-timers often miss it, so check yours.
Result
Who gets weekly holiday pay
- Your contract schedules you for 15 hours or more a week.
- You worked all the days you were scheduled for that week.
- You are expected to keep working the following week (from the Supreme Court's view, the last week before leaving may not count).

Frequently asked questions
My employer says weekly holiday pay is included in my hourly wage.
That is only valid if the contract clearly states it and your hourly wage minus the holiday portion is still above the minimum wage. At ₩10,320 an hour it cannot be "included".
Does it apply at small workplaces?
Yes. Weekly holiday pay applies to all workplaces, including those with fewer than 5 employees.
