DSME employees to take unpaid leave in Jan.
[THE INVESTOR] About 300 office workers of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering will take unpaid leave in January under cost-cutting measures, sources said on Dec. 28.
They will be the first batch of DSME’s 4,700 desk-job employees who will take turns on unpaid leave from January in line with the company’s self-help measures aimed at helping the ailing shipyard stay afloat.
In June, about 350 office workers applied for unpaid leave, and the shipbuilder is fine-tuning the plan due to the company’s reorganization early this month, the sources said, adding the number is unlikely to change much.
DSME’s workforce is currently estimated at 11,200, with office workers accounting for 42 percent of the headcount and production employees taking up the remainder.
DSME will be the first among the nation‘s top three shipyards to actually make officer workers take unpaid leave, though two others -- Hyundai Heavy Industries and Samsung Heavy Industries -- have included no-pay leave in their self-rescue programs.
