Labor & Employment
For foreign residents in Korea · Pyeongtaek
Employment disputes in Korea are governed by labor laws that protect both employees and employers, but the procedures are not always obvious to those unfamiliar with them.
We advise employees and employers on dismissal, wage, and workplace disputes.
Common Situations
- Unfair dismissal
- Unpaid wages or severance
- Workplace disputes
What We Will Tell You Honestly
- Whether your dismissal qualifies as "unfair" under Korean labor law — the standard is specific, and not every unfair-feeling dismissal meets it.
- What you are owed in unpaid wages or severance, and the fastest route to collecting it (labor office vs. lawsuit).
