FAQ 4Operator answerPosted Sep 20, 2026
I work on a farm. Is it true that there is no overtime pay?
Machine-translated from Korean. Check numbers and agency names against the original.
For agriculture and livestock industries, extension and holiday surcharges do not apply according to Article 63 of the Labor Standards Act.
However, for night shifts at workplaces with five or more regular employees, an additional payment of at least 50% of the ordinary wage is required.
This statutory additional charge does not apply to workplaces with fewer than 5 employees at all times.
Also, Labor Day on May 1st is a paid holiday for the agriculture and livestock industries.
If you worked that day, you should receive your allowance, so ask 1350 about the wage method and the size of the workplace.
