For foreign companies in Korea, it is very important to know about Korean labor law.  In this regard, Korean Ministry of Labor issued Employer’s Checklist on Working Conditions in Last December.  This list is for any company having 5 or more employees and dealing with 7 labor-related laws.  I think this list is very comprehensive and handy.  You can see the list here.

If you have more questions on labor contract or any other Korean labor law related issues, please send an email to askkorealaw@gmail.com or visit Legal Consultation page.  Our Korean licensed labor lawyers, not a U.S. lawyer residing in Korea, will answer your inquiry.

Also you can find a stack of competent legal information and articles on Korean labor law, written by a Korean licensed lawyer, by clicking here.
