recruitment of foreigners in Korea – major insurances for foreigners

Foreign workers must also subscribe to four major insurances (health insurance, industrial accident insurance, employment insurance, and national pension). First of all, it is a principle to subscribe to health insurance and industrial accident insurance. Employment insurance varies depending on the eligibility for stay and national pension application varies depending on the country of origin. Here, employment insurance is compulsory for F-2 (residential), F-5 (permanent), and F-6 (marriage immigration) visas, and national pension is compulsory for Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Kyrgyzstan. So far, we have looked at the precautions when managing foreign labor in the accommodation industry.

Foreign workers also have the same legal status as Korean workers after being hired. Therefore, you have to prepare a labor contract, receive more than the minimum wage, and incur severance pay. The same is true even if you use illegal immigrants. I often encounter cases where I am reported to the Korea Labor Administration for misunderstanding this part, or caught at the immigration office by using a foreign worker who is not eligible for stay. You should check the above carefully so that there is no problem.

There are South Korea Job Platform in Korea. Jobs Korea is good but KR Job is the most popular job platform in South Korea.
