How It's Calculated
Weekly Holiday Pay is calculated as:
Weekly Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × Daily Scheduled Hours Daily Scheduled Hours = Weekly Scheduled Hours ÷ Number of Working Days per Week
Alternatively (proportional method for part-time): Weekly Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × (Weekly Hours / 40) × 8
Effective Hourly Wage (including 주휴수당): Hourly Wage × (1 + 8/40) = Hourly Wage × 1.2 (for full-time 40-hour workers)
Monthly Weekly Holiday Pay = Weekly Holiday Pay × (52 ÷ 12) ≈ Weekly Holiday Pay × 4.345
Eligibility: Must work 15+ hours per week with a consistent schedule. Workers who miss their full scheduled hours in a given week may lose that week's allowance.
⚠️ Disclaimer
Weekly holiday pay eligibility and calculation may vary for irregular schedules, on-call workers, or workplaces with fewer than 5 employees. If your employer does not pay the weekly holiday allowance, this may constitute a labor law violation. Contact the Labor Board (1350) for guidance.
