Is the Wage for Foreign Workers the Same as for Korean Nationals?
◈The wages for foreign workers must comply with the same regulations as those for Korean nationals.
▶Minimum Wage Compliance: Foreign workers must also be guaranteed the minimum wage under the Minimum Wage Act, just like Korean nationals.
▶Possibility of Differential Payment: Differences in wages from Korean workers can be made considering factors such as experience, productivity, and job duties. However, this must be done within a reasonable scope, and no discriminatory elements should be involved.
▶Application of Four Major Insurance Programs: Foreign workers are also subject to the four major insurance programs (Health Insurance, National Pension, Employment Insurance, Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance) just like Korean nationals.
