A friend on Jeju, whose contract allows for a whopping 5 days of paid vacation, is not getting on too well with her director, who says she doesn't have to give 10 days (or 15 days next year) because of this, which she (the Director) quotes:

The Labor Standards Act, which stipulates minimum working standards for workers, used to be applied to workplaces with five or more workers, but with the revision of the Enforcement Decree effective on February 24, 1998, the scope was expanded to cover all workplaces, which came into effect from January 1, l999.

However, some provisions(relating to employment contracts, restrictions on dismissal, working hours, leave, etc.) are not applied to workplaces with four workers or less given economic conditions and administrative capacity.

Anyone know if this is accurate?
