Work and Public Holiday Pay in South Korea

Check the rule that covers your workplace

A calendar date alone does not decide every employee's leave or pay outcome. Check the Labor Standards Act coverage that applies to the workplace, the employment contract, collective agreements, and current Ministry of Employment and Labor guidance.

Confirm holiday-work arrangements before the date

Employees who are scheduled to work should confirm whether the day is treated as paid leave, substituted leave, or holiday work and how additional pay is calculated. The answer can depend on legal coverage and the workplace arrangement, so this national calendar is not individual legal advice.

South Korea Public Holidays 2027 FAQ

How many public holiday dates are listed for South Korea in 2027?

This calendar lists 24 dates: 17 official public holiday dates and 7 alternative public holiday dates. The count treats each date in the multi-day Seollal and Chuseok periods as a separate calendar date rather than counting only festival names.

Are temporary public holidays included in this calendar?

A temporary public holiday is added only after the South Korean government formally designates the date. This 2027 page does not turn proposals, news reports, or possible bridge days into confirmed public holidays.
