The provisions of Article 39, paragraphs (1) and (2) of the new Labor Standards Act apply to a worker for whom the day on which the worker's continuous service exceeds six months falls on or after the date on which this Act comes into effect (hereinafter referred to as the "effective date"), and with regard to a worker who has been in continuous service for more than six months before the effective date, the provisions then in force continue to govern. In this case, with regard to the application of the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) of that Article to a worker whose day of hiring falls before the effective date, the term "the day of hiring" in paragraph (1) of that Article is deemed to be replaced with "the date on which the Act Partially Amending the Labor Standards Act and the Act on Temporary Measures for Promoting the Reduction of Working Hours (Act No. 79 of 1993) comes into effect (referred to as the "effective date" in the following paragraph)", the term "one year and six months" in paragraph (2) of that Article with "one year and six months counting from the effective date", and the term "six months" with "six months counting from the effective date".
