Introduced to improve productivity of the public sector and civil servants’ quality of life, the system allows civil servants to choose flexible ways of working that fit the characteristics of workers, their jobs and organizations
Civil servants can select the period and type of flexible work desired and request approval from the head of their team, ensuring the flexible work arrangement does not impede administrative service for the public

Diversify the currently standardized working patterns of civil servants to improve their work-life balance and public sector productivity
Heads of each level of administrative agencies shall not subject employees using flexible work arrangements any unreasonable disadvantage in their work performance rating, promotion, transfer, etc
Each agency has the discretion to utilize the system to the extent it fits the agency, considering the function of each team and the nature of duties of each individual, etc
Recognize and actively utilize the system as a civil servant right, ensuring that the quality of public service is not compromised due to the system
