The story of a company that took money from its employees for preparing for the birthday of the head of the company has sparked controversy.

Today (2nd), an online community posted a photo of the document with a post titled "Employees get paid for the birthday of the company CEO."

The document released by author A listed the titles, departments, and names from vice president to deputy.

At the top of the document, the amount for each position was set as "7,5 won for executives, 3,489 won for vice presidents/deputy managers, and <>,<> won for section managers and below," and the document also stated different amounts depending on the position.

The total amount collected from the employees amounted to <>.<> million won.

In addition, Mr. A claimed in the article that "if there is a holiday holiday, we will not allow you to take annual leave before or after it," and disclosed the notice sent by the company to its employees.

The notice said, "We ask the heads of departments who have the authority to approve annual leave to prohibit the use of vacation by department members before and after the holidays," and "Please reiterate that the use of annual leave before and after the holidays is contrary to the performance of dense work."

He added, "If it is unavoidable for the company's business, negotiating the adjustment of the date of annual leave is not a violation of the Labor Standards Act."

According to the Labor Standards Act, employees are free to take annual leave when they want through the "time-based regime," but the timing can be changed if giving leave at a time specified by the employee would significantly interfere with the employer's business operations.

Seeing this, the users said, "Isn't this a big deal?", "Let's take care of the birthday with the family", "The employees didn't pay it because they really wanted to pay it, but they had no choice but to pay it", "It's a pity that there is still a place like this", "A document was even created and distributed, can it be voluntary?" I responded.
