The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission said, "If childcare hours are shortened, there will be no disadvantage in salary."

The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission judged today (17th) that the standard for calculating the salary for childcare teachers who worked shorter hours during the parenting period was unreasonable and delivered an opinion to the Ministry of Education that improvement was needed.

According to the "2024 Childcare Business Guide" released by the Ministry of Education, only those who work more than six hours a day when shortening the working hours during the childcare period are recognized as one-day work in the hobong definition, and only actual working hours are recognized as experiences if they are less than six hours.

On the other hand, for childcare teachers who have used parental leave, the leave period is included as a career period.

The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission said that shorter working hours for childcare should not be treated unfavorably in calculating the salary, and that the contents of the education ministry's guidelines could be contrary to equity.
