Family Care Leave 10 Days Eligibility Guide

A father talks on the phone while holding his daughter's hand outside a primary school in autumn.

This content applies specifically to South Korea.

Need a day off for urgent family care after starting a job? You can apply for up to 10 days of family care leave a year even with less than 6 months of continuous employment. Payment is not legally required, so check company policy before planning around paid time off.

 

Match the time off to the care needed

For a parent’s medical appointment or a gap in childcare, you can consider leave in full-day units. School events can also qualify as childcare reasons. Explain the need for care, rather than simply naming the event.

Longer care may call for a family care leave of absence, available for up to 90 days a year. The 10 days count toward that limit, so the two allowances do not add up to 100 days.

A practical check for a school closure

If a school closure leaves you needing urgent childcare, use this short preparation checklist:

  • Check leave already used during the same year.
  • Explain the actual childcare gap and prepare the school closure notice as possible supporting evidence.
  • Include the leave dates, the child’s name and date of birth, the application date and the applicant.

Family care leave has no uniform statutory advance-notice period. The 30-day advance application rule for a leave of absence does not apply to it. For an urgent situation, notify the company promptly and submit the application in writing; electronic submission is also possible.

 

Check family relationships and applicable rules

The rules described took effect on September 18, 2026. Covered relatives are grandparents, parents, a spouse, a spouse’s parents, children and grandchildren. Siblings and the worker’s own illness are outside this leave’s scope. For grandparents or grandchildren, check the additional conditions concerning other direct relatives’ ability to provide care.

As a next step, you can ask the company which supporting documents fit the care request and how pay will be handled. Use the original article on Injoys to check the relevant application details.

Bitcoin Rally Claims Reviewed: U.S. Liquidity, Stablecoins, Reserves and Mining

Image
If you are weighing claims that $3 trillion to $6 trillion of U.S. liquidity, a government Bitcoin reserve, or 24-hour stablecoin payments will trigger a Bitcoin rally, you need to separate policy changes from price predictions. The original article on Injoys reviews each claim and shows you where the evidence is strong, incomplete, or overstated. Why easier bank rules are not money printing You first get a clear explanation of the supplementary leverage ratio, or SLR. This rule requires large banks to maintain core capital relative to their total leverage exposure, which can include U.S. Treasuries and central-bank reserves. Recent easing may give banks more capacity to intermediate Treasuries and participate in repo markets. However, you should not treat that capacity as actual lending, asset purchases, or quantitative easing. QE involves Federal Reserve asset purchases and expansion of its balance sheet. The article therefore finds insufficient evidence that SLR reform will auto...

Daedong Law 1651: Chungcheong Reform and Kim Yuk's Role

Image
If you are checking Chungcheong's tax rate in 1651, the answer is 10 du of rice annually per 1 gyeol of land, not the later rate of 12 du. The Hoseo Daedong Law collected 5 du in spring and 5 du in autumn. Kim Yuk's repeated proposals helped secure implementation in Chungcheong first. What changed in the tribute burden Instead of obtaining assigned tribute goods, obligations were assessed by land measured in gyeol. Revenue covered local expenses before the remainder went to the central government. This explains why the reform concerned both tax collection and spending: replacing tribute goods alone would not resolve additional collections for local costs.

It distinguishes the initial rate from later rule...
