All results are reference information based on general principles and practical treatment under Korean labor law. Actual legal effects may vary depending on specific facts, agreements, and special statutes. Consult a qualified professional before relying on the result for an important legal or financial decision.
Usually yes. In Korean labor practice, the hire date is generally counted when assessing continuous service for matters such as severance pay and annual leave. This calculator therefore uses day-one inclusion by default.
Generally yes, if the employment relationship continued without interruption. In Korean practice, probation is commonly treated as part of the continuous service period, although the final legal assessment can depend on the facts.
Generally yes. Under the Korean Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act, childcare leave is typically included in continuous service, although wage calculations for severance can involve separate rules.
The calculator checks whether continuous employment appears to have reached one year, which is one of the key thresholds used in Korean severance-pay rules. Other requirements, such as average weekly working hours, still need separate review.
The Korean Civil Act generally starts counting from the next day, but Korean labor practice often includes the hire date itself when evaluating continuous employment for severance pay or annual leave. This calculator defaults to day-one inclusion but lets you compare both methods.
The result highlights whether the continuous employment period appears to have reached one year. That helps you review the main severance threshold quickly, but you should still verify other factors separately.
