🌏 Today I will share valuable information for students who want to work in Korea. There are many reasons for foreign countries to come to Korea, and there are many people who come to Korea for the purpose of employment, but there are occasional problems such as human rights violations and wage exploitation. In order to solve these problems and protect foreign workers, the Korean government is implementing an "employment permit system" policy. Let's take a look at this policy.
🌐 What is an Employment Permit System?
The employment permit system is a system that allows companies that do not have manpower in Korea to legally hire foreign workers. Through this initiative, we will systematically introduce and manage foreign workers, alleviate the problem of human shortage in Korea, and contribute to the national economy. There are two types of systems: the "General Employment Permit System" and the "Special Employment Permit System"
🌈 General employment permit system and special employment permit system
General Employment Permit System: We mainly employ foreign workers from 16 countries, including China and the Philippines, and are employed as non-professional workers (E-9) after passing the Korean Chinese test.
Special Employment Permit System: Employers of designated businesses or workplaces are allowed to hire foreign nationals after obtaining permission to hire foreign nationals, taking into account the characteristics of each industry.
