The Seoul Metropolitan Government has published a free guide containing information about labor laws and practices in Korea for workers from overseas.
The “Notebook on the Labor Rights of Foreign Workers,” available in five languages ― Korean, English, Mandarin, Tagalog and Vietnamese ― is presented through short comics and Q&A-style text for easy understanding, Seoul officials said.
Topics include standards for wages and vacations, compensation for workplace accidents, and protections for female employees.
Copies of the guide are available at Seoul’s Global Migrant Centers in Seongdong-gu, Seongbuk-gu, Geumcheon-gu, Gangdong-gu, Yangcheon-gu and Eunpyeong-gu. An online copy is available at economy.seoul.go.kr/archives/47045.
