South Korea is temporarily permitting a special extended working hour scheme outside the 52-hour maximum workweek for local firms affected by Japan's trade curbs
Describing Tokyo's measures as a "social disaster,"... Minister of Labor Lee Jae-kap said Monday that the new policy will be in place for a maximum of three months.
He said the move will enable South Korean firms to focus on R&D to reduce their dependence on Japan for tech-related items.
