retirement benefits more than 50% of the legal standard from Dec 1, 2010 to Dec 31,
2012. After then, it is applied 100% of retirement benefit which is more than 30 days
of the worker’s annual average wage..) In this context, the average wage is the result
of a formula; the total amount of wages which have been paid to the worker for the
3 months before resignation divided by the total amount of days worked during
this period(usually 89~92 days). The average wage shall include the total wages and
overtime allowance, holiday work allowance, and other money paid to the

● Additional Allowances in cases of Overtime Work/Night Work and Holiday Work

If an employee works beyond 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, 50% of the normal
pay must be calculated and added to pay him/her for the extended workhours.
The same applies for holiday work. This follows for holiday work as well. If he/
she works at night (10 p.m. ~ 6 a.m.), the worker should be paid an additional
50% of his/her ordinary wage. To receive such additional allowances without
any problems, workers should keep records of their over time or nightly work
(e.g. write down from start to finishing time and their dates) and keep the pay
envelopes or wage statements.
Example of Extra Wage Payment
If an employee whose normal hourly pay is KRW7,530 (based on the minimum

wage in 2017) comes to work at 09:00 on a weekday and provides labor until 24:00
● Break time 12:00~13:00, 18:00~19:00

- Standard Working Hours (8h):09:00~18:00(Break time 12:00~13:00 excluded)
- Overtime Work Hours (5h):19:00~24:00(Night work hour 22:00~24:00 included)
- Night Work Hours (2h):22:00~24:00
● Wage Calculation
110
- Wage for Standard Work = 60,240won (7,530won × 8h)
2019 Life In Ansan
- Wage for Overtime Work = 56,475won (7,530won × 5h × 150%)

- Wage for Night Work = 7,530won (7,530won × 2h × 50%)
- Total = 124,245won
※ As shown by the above example, the hourly wage in case of night work (22:00~24:00) is
200% more than the standard wage.
● In case where a worker works on a paid holiday

- Wages should be 250% higher because they include the standard wage (100%),
wage for that day (100%), and an additional wage (50%).
※ As the above examples mention, overtime work or night work leads to additional wages,
they work on a paid holiday. Employers are allowed to pay less than this if they provide an
alternative holiday to the employee. An alternative holiday must be notified in advance
though (at least a few days before)
Please Keep Important details and document~
Please keep the company address, phone number, the name of company president,
wage statements and the labor contract as well. You have to ask for them. If the
company doesn’t give you a copy of the labor contract, it can be obtained from the
ministry of labor. These documents and materials will be absolutely important if any
problems related to your wage or severance pay arises. Please keep them!!
● Shutdown Allowance
- An employer shall pay over 70/100(70%) of average wages during the shutdown
period when the cause of shutdown is attributed to the employer. If the shutdown
allowance exceeds the ordinary wages, the allowance is as much as the ordinary
wage. If a company can’t keep afloat because of inevitable reasons and the Labor
Committee approves the closure, the shutdown allowance may be less than the
standard (70/100 of the average wage).
- What causes are attributed to employer?

This can be any ill-management which happens and is in the range of the
employer’s control. Examples include a burnt factory, destruction of machines,
power failure, sluggish sales, shortage of raw materials, decrease of orders,
reduction of work load, financial difficultly, or disturbance of distribution ring. If
the civil court rules that the shutdown is attributed to employers, that is to say, if
employers’ intention or fault is recognized by the court, the employer shall make
full payment.
111

- When are businesses not considered to be at fault, and the slowdown is due to
an inevitable reason
The inevitable reasons for a business’s downfall include a natural disaster, a war,
an abnormal change of weather, and its subsequent effects on business such as
traffic control. However, even if there is an inevitable reason, the employer shall
pay the shutdown allowance if they can’t get the approval of a Labor Committee.
If this happens, then the employer shall be responsible for the burden of proof
(proving the business falling was due to an inevitable reason).
Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act

● What is an industrial accident?
Industrial accidents refer to accidents that occur at workplace and include any
injury, disease, or even death that befall a worker while doing any activity related
to his/her work. A worker in an industrial accident is allowed to ask his/her
employer for compensation even though the employer is not at fault or claim
insurance money in accordance with the Industrial Accident Compensation through
the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation, affiliated to the Korean labor ministry.
● What is an occupational disease?
An employee may catch a disease while working at his/her workplace.
Sometimes, a disease occurs for personal reasons, but it may be related to an
occupation. For example, a worker’s job might involve carrying heavy loads,
which gives them back problems, or the job might require working with paint
which can cause asthma or dizziness. Thus, any disease occurring in relation
to work or the environment of a workplace is called an occupational illness
or disease. If a worker’s disease is recognized as an occupational disease, the
worker is entitled to be covered by this insurance.
● Contents of Industrial Accidents Compensation
- Accidents created by a worker’s mistakes are also covered.
This is not applied to a business site with less than 5 people run by an individual
business owner among construction business less than KRW20 million of
construction amount, housekeeping service, agriculture, forestry, fishery, and
hunting business with les s than.
- Compensation is possible even though a company doesn’t subscribe to the insurance.
Industrial accident compensation insurance is mandatory. Therefore, if an
employer satisfies the requirements stipulated by the insurance, an employee
is allowed to ask the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation to pay compensation
regardless of whether their company has subscribed to the insurance or not.
- Compensation coverage
A worker is eligible to receive 70% of their average daily wage for each day they
can’t work, if it is recognized as an industrial accident. If the compensation is less
112 than the minimum wage, worker will receive at least the minimum wage. If he/she
recovers but still has some disability, the worker will be able to receive a disability
2019 Life In Ansan
compensation. If the worker dies, some compensation and funeral costs will be
paid to the remaining family members. If the disease reoccurs later after treatment
has ended, the worker will still be covered by the insurance. The Korea Labor
Welfare Corporation pays all things related to compensation.
- All compensation is transferred into the worker’s banking account.
- Compensation Lawsuit
In addition to compensation received from an Industrial Accident Compensation
Insurance, the worker can get more financial compensation by filing a lawsuit
against his/her company. The court considers both the employer’s responsibility
and the damage caused to the worker while making the decision for the compensation
amount (after subtracting the amount already provided by the insurance). In the
case of migrant workers, the compensation amount is based upon the wage levels
of their native home country if their sojourn period has expired.
- The worker is entitled to make a firsthand claim for compensation.
If a company refuses to pay compensation, the worker or his/her family members
are entitled to call the Korean Labor Welfare Corporation directly. If he/she
contacts the Compensation Department of the Corporation, the worker will be
provided with a detailed explanation and counseling. If necessary, a staff of the
corporation will visit the worker in person to resolve any problem. In addition,
workers can gain some help from bodies supporting foreigners or such counseling
groups. The Korea Workers Compensation & Welfare Service: 1588-0075

Corporation dealing with his/her case, the worker is allowed to make an examination
request to the corporation headquarters within 90 days from the date when they
are notified of the decision. If he/she is still unhappy with the conclusion of this
examination, the worker can file an Insurance Examination Committee of the Labor
Ministry within 90 days from when they receive the conclusion of the examination.

Disciplinary Action and Dismissal
Employers cannot inflict a dismissal, layoff, suspension, transfer, pay cut, or other such punishments
on a worker without having a “rational reason” for doing so. In cases where adismissal, layoff,
suspension, transfer, pay cut, of other punishment is imposed on the employee without any
rational(reasonable and fair) reason, the affected worker is allowed to ask for relief.
● Legal Meaning of “Rational Reasons”

If conventional wisdom finds that enough business failure can be attributed to
the employee to justify canceling an employment contract, the dismissal will be
considered to be rational. That is to say, the reasons given for the dismissal must be
what most people would think of it as reasonable and fair. Some examples would
be when a worker does a company severe damage, or destroys managerial order in
an organization.
● Procedure of Dismissal
114 - Advance Notice of the dismissal
2019 Life In Ansan
A. Notice Obligation
• To prevent a worker from falling into difficulties caused by being fired unexpectedly,
employees must be notified of their dismissal at least 30 days in advance.

B. Exception of obligation of notice
• Exceptions exist in special cases - A worker can be fired without notice when
the business can’t keep afloat due to a natural calamity, mishap, or another
inevitable accident, or if a worker causes financial damages to the business, or
intentionally impedes the business.
• Exception for short-term workers - Applied to daily employed workers
who
have not been hired for 3 months, those who were used within 2 months of
period, those who set and were used within 6 months of period for seasonal
work, and workers in the probationary period.
• A Dismissal Notice Should be in Writing
When firing a worker, the employer should notify the employee of the
reasons for the dismissal and the remaining period of employment. They
should include why it is necessary to fire the employee.
• Objection against Disciplinary Action
A worker on whom disciplinary action or dismissal is inflicted without
rational reasons is eligible to report it to the Labor Committee or a Court to
ask for relief. The report for relief must be made within 3 months after he/she
has asked for relief. The report for relief must be made within 3 months after
the unfair dismissal has been given. The labor committee shall then perform
a proper investigation and interrogation to decide if the dismissal was unfair.
※ Fair dismissal: The court rejects the relief application made by a worker.
※ Unfair dismissal: The court orders some relief(to either reinstate the worker or pay them wages for
the same period.)
Relief of Disadvantages of employment
● When wages are not paid on time

If an employer doesn’t pay your wages or pays you only part of the wages owed,
you can receive your wages fairly by using the methods below.
- You are allowed to make a petition to the labor ministry.
When a worker quits his/her job, an employer shall liquidate his/her wages,
retirement benefits, and all financial liabilities or money owed to the employee
within 14 days. If the payment is not made within 14 days, the worker is allowed
to make a petition to the labor ministry. The petition can be registered by direct
visiting, internet, Fax, or mail. To register it, the worker must know the address
and phone number of the employer. If a worker registers a petition form, a labor
supervisor at the labor office sends a summons to the employee and the employer
within 2~3 weeks, checks if the wage is delayed or not, and orders the employer
to clear all due wages.
115

Usually, many employers clear the back wages during the period of checking
if they do owe the employee money. If your employer doesn’t pay your back
wages, the labor ministry will send them for prosecution and deem them as
being in violation of the Labor Standards Act. The employer will then be forced
to pay a penalty to the government for violating the act.
● You are allowed to file a lawsuit.

Sometimes, an employer still doesn’t pay your back wages even when a labor
supervisor orders them to do so.
① In this case, the employer is sentenced to prison up to 3 year’s in jail or given a
fine up to 20 million won, but in reality, the fine is no more than 10~20% of the
unpaid back wages.
② If this happens, the affected worker can visit the labor office to receive the
confirmation of his/her owed back wage and then file a lawsuit through the
Korea Legal Aid Corporation. Before the ruling is announced, the litigation costs
are provided to the worker by the Korea Legal Aid Corporation, and if the worker
wins, the employer will be responsible for paying these costs, so employees do
not have to be concerned about costs.
※ Ministry of Employment and Labor established the substitute payment system which is a legal system
to pay the unpaid wages to the retired workers on behalf of employers up to 3 million won. If you get
final and conclusive judgment from the court, you may apply to Korea Worker’s Compensation and
Welfare Service. You will get paid within 14 days then.
● You can also get your unpaid wages through the aid of consulting and supportive organizations.
This is the most widely used way to resolve wage problems. However, these
consulting and supportive organizations are private bodies, and don’t have legal
binding, so they are only able to ask the employer to pay your missing back wages.
That is to say, such organizations don’t have any legal rights to punish the employer
even if they won’t pay you.
● You need to finish dealing with your unpaid wages problem within 3 years.
The statute of limitations on wages is three years. After three years have passed, it’s
hard to resolve the wage problems by using the above-stated, methods. Therefore, if
your wage payment is delayed, it’s best to take measures as quickly as possible.
- When you are injured while working
A worker in an industrial accident is eligible to receive 70% of his/her wages,
doctor’s fees, and disability compensation by applying to the Korea Labor Welfare
Corporation. As for the application procedures to receive industrial accident
compensation, the injured worker, his/her family members, or his/her company
116 can apply for it. This procedure requires a lot of time and effort and is difficult
for foreign workers to understand, so, unfortunately, many workers are prevented
2019 Life In Ansan
from applying for this compensation. For example, sometimes, the company starts
the procedure for the compensation, but refuses to fully explain to the employee
what’s going on with the application process, and many workers find this very
stressful. Therefore, it is best to seek the counsel of the labor ministry or another
supportive group to make sure you will receive this money.
- When you contract a disease caused by your occupation
If you are ill or suffering from a disease while working, you need to question and
inquire if it is an occupational disease. To prove it is an occupational disease, you
will need to be diagnosed from a proper and special hospital.
- When you are assaulted or detained

Other Social Insurances

● National Health Insurance (Employer/Employee: fifty-fifty payment system）
Legal migrant workers are eligible to subscribe to this insurance, but illegal
workers are not (illegal workers are allowed to use free clinics).
● National Pension System (Employer/Employee: fifty-fifty payment system)
based on Mutualism
The national pension is the system of ensuring a subscriber’s income when they are
old, injured, disabled or die from unexpected accidents or diseases. The government
pays the pension to the subscribers and their remaining family members to help the
employees to maintain a basic level of comfort, health, and dignity.
