What Happens to the Existing Employment Quota per Workplace When Inheriting Foreign Workers Due to Workplace Merger?
- Even if the total number of foreign workers employed at each workplace after the merger of different workplaces employing foreign workers exceeds the employment quota allowed for the new merged workplace, continued employment of the excess workers is permitted.
- However, if the excess foreign workers leave the workplace after the merger due to termination of employment contract, expiration of stay period, etc., replenishment of the reduced workforce is not allowed, and employment of foreign workers is only possible within the quota permitted for the new workplace.
Method of Calculating Employment Quota After Merger
- Sum of Individual Workplaces' Quotas: The employment quotas for foreign workers allowed for each workplace before the merger are all summed up.
Adjustment Based on Workplace Scale After Merger: Based on the summed quota, the new employment quota is determined according to the guidelines for employment permit affairs, depending on the scale and industry of the workplace after the merger.
- Differences by Industry: Since the foreign worker employment allowance ratio varies by industry, the employment quota may differ depending on the main industry after the merger.
