Seongdong-gu: ‘Mistakes Are Opportunities to Grow’… Alternative Disposition with Education and Volunteering Introduced for Junior Civil Servants

1. Seongdong-gu in Seoul has become the first district in Seoul to introduce an alternative disposition system that gives junior civil servants who commit minor misconduct opportunities for education and volunteering instead of punishment.
2. The system applies to civil servants with five years or less of service, who are exempted from status-related disposition upon completing at least 20 hours of education or performing at least 20 hours of volunteer work.
3. The alternative disposition must in principle be carried out within three months of the resolution; if it is not, the original disposition is confirmed, and it applies only where the likelihood of improvement is high.
