SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics will start paying employees for overtime work in 10-minute increments next month, a move expected to increase take-home pay for many staff as the conglomerate works to please the growth-minded Moon Jae-in administration.
The company currently pays overtime in 2-hour increments. The change will coincide with a lowering of the national cap on working hours to 52 per week including overtime from 68 under a revised labor standards law, in response to which Samsung will also give employees more flexibility in setting their schedules.
