		<description>@mylene  Unfortunately, no matter what kind of answer I give to you, it will not solve your problem because I am not the authority but just a blogger. I advise you to contact the labor ministry of Korea for labor law counselling at this phone number.  031-345-5000 English speaking staff there may be able to help you. Good luck.</description>

		<description>If your company has about 50 workers, it is already covered by 40 hours work system. From July 2011, the 40 hours work will also apply to companies with 20 or less workers.  Annual leave applies to every worker. 
As for a manual on labor law, you can try&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.koilaf.org/KFeng/engPublication/bbs.php?code1=1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; this website&lt;/a&gt;.  Good luck!</description>

		<description>Hi. 40 hour work week will be extended to companies with less than 20 employees from July 1, 2011. Until then, annual leave of 15 days is not mandatory for those companies. Therefore, 10 days annual leave is still valid for an employee hired before July 1 of next year.</description>

		<description>Hi. Labor standards act prohibits discrimination against employees based on gender, nationality or belief. Therefore, if you worked for a company for more than a year, you are entitled to 15 days of annual leave from the second year and the leave will increase by one day for each two year worked until up to the ceiling of 25 days. If you want to know more about annual leave, visit ministry of employment and labor dept. by clicking &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.moel.go.kr/english/topic/laborlaw.jsp?tab=Standards&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and download and read the full English text of the labor standards act.</description>
