- An employee in the DS division earning a base salary of 100 million won could receive up to 600 million won (pre-tax) in bonuses while working a 52-hour week, bringing their total annual compensation to approximately 700 million won—an hourly rate of nearly 260,000 won.

While worker wages rose in Q1 of this year, the gap between sectors has widened.
- Monthly Salary Gap: A gap of 6.51 million won vs. 3.74 million won has emerged, which is attributed to the expansion of performance bonuses centered on large export-oriented companies.
- Real Wage Improvement: The improvement in real wages, after accounting for inflation, remains limited.
분석 및 배경 이슈
선택과 집중에 따른 임금 양극화
A defining characteristic of the 2026 wage negotiations is that while the number of people receiving increases has decreased, the actual rate of increase has gone up. This suggests that companies are selectively focusing their wage budgets on core roles and high-performing talent.
성과급 구조 개편이 임금 격차 심화의 주원인
As seen in the case of Samsung Electronics, the introduction of performance bonuses linked to operating profit and differential payments by department are maximizing wage gaps. The low approval rate (21%) in non-semiconductor divisions reflects dissatisfaction on the ground regarding this structural imbalance.
