FIVE INDUSTRIES DESIGNATED AS SPECIAL INDUSTRIES UNDER LABOR STANDARDS LAW
The Council of Labor Affairs (CLA) recently designated academic research and service organizations, common hotels, barber and beauty parlors, and other educational and training services as industries under Article 30-1 of the Labor Standards Law (LSL). Therefore, the regular work hours, holidays and female workers' night-time work of workers in these industries are not subject to the restrictions of Paragraph 2 of Article 30, Article 36, and Article 49 of the LSL. In addition, the CLA designated social education organizations as special industries under Paragraph 2 of Article 32 of the LSL and therefore the extended work hours of their workers are not subject to the restrictions of Paragraph 1 of Article 32.
The CLA also announced that the workers designated below are workers falling under Article 84-1 of the LSL. As a result, they can be exempt from relevant restrictions imposed by the LSL, provided that separate agreements relating to the hours of work, holidays, leave and female workers' night-time work shall be entered into between the workers and their employers and shall be reported, to the local government authorities for recordation.
