Frequently asked questions

Is a written employment contract required?

Yes. Key terms such as wages, contractual working hours, holidays and paid annual leave must be stated in writing and a copy given to the employee (Labor Standards Act, Article 17). Employers who fail to do so can be fined.

What should I check before I start?

Check that the probation period and pay during it, the workplace and duties, and working hours and breaks match what the posting and interview said. If they differ, you can ask for changes before signing.

These explanations are general guidance. Amounts and eligibility can change each year — confirm with Work24 (고용24) or the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
