Prenatal diagnosis time granting system

During pregnancy, examinations are needed to check fetal growth and development and mothers’ cyclical health management. The prenatal diagnosis time granting system reduces the burden on mothers who must take leave for regular examinations during pregnancy and supports health checkups of the fetus and mother and thus ultimately supports female employees in delivering healthy babies.

1. Reference: Article 57 of the Rules of Employment

2. Applicable to pregnant female employees

3. Details

Time required for regular medical examination for pregnant women (travel time, medical checkup time, etc.) is granted as paid with no deduction from the annual leave.
In principle, the fetal examination time is used in accordance with the following standards:
(An exception may be allowed at a specific time or frequency if it is a regular health checkup for pregnant women in accordance with Article 10 of the Mother and Child Health Act)
