Homeplus Closes Voluntary Resignation Application Early Due to Surge in Applicants

Homeplus, which is struggling with management normalization, announced on October 15 that it closed applications for voluntary resignation on October 14.

Homeplus stated, "We were accepting applications within the initially announced period, but decided to end the voluntary resignation process early as a large number of employees applied."

Homeplus began accepting applications for voluntary resignation on October 7 and had planned to keep the application window open until October 22, but closed it after just 8 days due to a flood of applicants.

The terms of the voluntary resignation include the payment of unpaid wages, Chuseok bonuses, and severance pay.

Although the voluntary resignation package does not include separate severance incentives, it is interpreted that an increasing number of employees applied due to growing concerns over the normalization of management.

Homeplus has recently failed to generate its expected sales, and it is known that the company has also been unable to find a buyer interested in acquiring its hypermarket division.
