Understanding Labour Law in Korea.

Interlexlawkorea27 Feb, 2025Legal

Korean labour laws are intended to protect employees' rights and encourage fair workplace practices. Regulations governing working hours, salaries, overtime, termination, and employee benefits are all important parts of Korean labour law. Employers must follow the legal limit for maximum working hours (52 hours per week) and provide appropriate compensation. Furthermore, Korean labour law requires severance pay for employees who have worked for more than a year, as well as guarantees against wrongful termination.
