1. Reasons for Amendment

This amendment aims to set the specific details of support for the insurance business of platform operators and the time limit for re-approval of insurance agencies and prescribe matters mandated by the Act and matters necessary for the enforcement thereof, such as arranging the term from “average remuneration” of workers to “monthly remuneration” of workers as the Act on the Collection of Insurance Premiums for Employment Insurance and Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance (Act No. 18919, promulgated on June 10, 2022, and to be enforced on January 1, 2023) has been revised in a way of changing “average monthly remuneration,” which is the basis for calculating the insurance business support for labor-providing platform operators and the monthly insurance premiums for workers, to “monthly remuneration” and setting differentially a limit period for re-approval when approval for an insurance agency has been revoked.
