Reasons for Proposal

Recently there have been not a few cases where job seekers suffered damage caused by job offerers who give them an offer of employment but later cancel the offer without discussion or on the first day of the job.

In such cases, an employment contract has not been entered into, which makes it difficult to prove the offer of employment or provide protection for a worker when filing a lawsuit.

Accordingly, the Amendment requires job offerers to enter into an employment contract prescribing the wage, working hours, etc., with job seekers within 7 days of the notification of hiring unless otherwise justified, thereby aiming to protect workers in terms of job offers, and to facilitate the substantiation of job offers (Article 10-2 newly inserted).
