National Assembly Legislation

  • The Fair Hiring Procedure Act
    • Competent Ministry : Ministry of Employment and Labor
    • Advance Publication of Legislation : 2018-08-02
    • Opinion Submission Deadline : 2018-08-16
Reasons for Proposal

The current Act precribes that where a job offerer finalizes the job seekers to hire, he/she shall without delay notify the job seekers of whether they are hired or not. While a job seeker who is determined to be hired will be notified within a short period, there are reports of problems that a job seeker who failed the examination process or who failed after an interview examination has had to wait for an announcement of examination results for a while without being notified of the results of the hiring decision.
Under the current act, where a job offerer receives hiring documents via electronic mail, etc., he/she shall notify the job seeker of such receipt without delay, by posting such fact on the homepage or by text message via cellular phone, e-mail, fax, telephone, etc. Likewise, the Amendment aims to eliminate unnecessary part from the hiring procedure by clearly stipulating that a job offerer shall notify a job seeker of the hiring decision and such notification shall be sent to all job seekers who participated in the hiring procedure (Article 10).

Major Provisions

Where a job offerer finalizes the hiring decision concerning job seekers, he/she shall, without delay, notify all job seekers of such decision (Article 10).
