Provided is a work transfer device capable of handling returned work on both sides. The work transfer device (10) of the present invention comprises: a transfer rotor (16) having a cavity unit (22) penetrating from one side (16b) to the other side (16a); and a first transfer base (14) arranged to the other side (16a) of the transfer rotor (16) to cover the cavity unit (22). The first transfer base (14) has an opening unit (34) to expose one part of a track through which the cavity unit (22) passes when the transfer rotor (16) rotates. A second transfer base (50) covering the cavity unit (22) of the transfer rotor (16) in an area of the opening unit (34) of the first transfer base (14) is arranged on one side (16b) of the transfer rotor (16).
