South Korean trouble with workaholics – Shutting down computers to force workers to leave on time
The country has some of the longest working hours in the world with government employees clocking up an average of 2,739 hours a year.
Seoul Metropolitan Government says it will roll out the initiative over the next three months, beginning on March 30.
There will be three phases to the plan - starting with the 8pm switch-off then bringing it back to 7.30pm and finally to 7pm for the final phase.
It is reported that 67.1% of government workers have asked to be exempt from the forced restriction.
Earlier this month, the government also passed a law to cut down the maximum weekly working hours from 68 to 52.
