Chungnam Office of Education to Extend Allowance Payment Period for Model Public Officials to 3 Years

The Chungnam Office of Education is promoting a 'demand-centered personnel policy.'

The Office of Education has decided to implement a new personnel policy in response to changes in public service culture, such as the low birthrate situation and the increasing turnover rate of low-experience public officials.

First, the period for paying exemplary public official allowances by the Superintendent of Education will be extended from the existing 2 years to 3 years.

Along with this, the local public official service regulations under the Chungnam Superintendent of Education have been partially amended and announced for legislative notice.

The amendment includes △ the establishment of a system to convert overtime pay into annual leave △ granting 5 days of annual childcare leave for public officials with children under 4 years old △ introduction of long-term service leave for public officials with 5 to 10 years of service △ expansion of condolence leave days △ expansion of service period and additional days related to annual leave for experienced public officials.

Superintendent Kim Ji-cheol said, "We will continue to create a vibrant public service culture through innovation in demand-centered personnel policies," adding, "We will strive to improve working conditions to help employees balance work and life and boost morale."
