◈ Problems with the Industrial Trainee System
The Industrial Trainee System caused many issues such as illegal stays, wage arrears, human rights violations, and failed to protect the rights and interests of foreign workers.
Worsening labor shortages in 3D industries: Due to domestic workers avoiding them, labor shortages in 3D industries such as manufacturing and construction intensified, leading to production disruptions.
◈ Main Features of the Employment Permit System
Strict government management: The Employment Permit System is a system strictly managed by the government, legally regulating all processes from the entry to the departure of foreign workers.
Enhanced employer responsibilities: Employers are obligated to comply with labor laws, such as paying the minimum wage to foreign workers and enrolling them in the four major insurances.
Strengthened protection of foreign workers' rights: Foreign workers can exercise their three basic labor rights and apply for remedies in case of unfair dismissal.
