Frequently Asked Questions
Do Korean labor laws apply to foreign workers?
In principle, the relevant laws apply when work is performed in Korea, and the permitted scope of employment under the worker's immigration status must also be checked.
Can I have only my employment contract reviewed?
Yes. If you also share the actual working pattern and pay structure, wording and operational risks can be checked more accurately.
Which comes first, the visa or the hiring procedure?
The order may vary with the immigration status and hiring schedule, so the work of the administrative agent and the labor attorney is reviewed separately.
Can I consult about a case at the labor office?
After checking the case type, current stage and deadlines, the certified labor attorney explains the scope of possible representation.
