- Benefit
- At workplaces with 5 or more employees, a dismissal without just cause or written notice is an unfair dismissal. If a remedy is granted, the commission orders reinstatement and payment of an amount equal to wages for the dismissal period. Also check dismissal notice (30 days in advance, or 30 days of ordinary wages).
- Who is eligible
- Workers who were dismissed unfairly.
- When to apply
- Within 3 months of the dismissal date.
- How to apply
- Apply for a remedy to the competent Regional Labor Relations Commission (지방노동위원회, nlrc.go.kr). For labor office consultation, call 1350.
- Important notes
- 3 months from the dismissal date (Labor Standards Act). Applications cannot be made after the deadline.
- Note
- If a dismissal is ruled unfair, the reason for leaving may be corrected, which can affect unemployment benefits. Some dismissal-restriction rules do not apply to workplaces with fewer than 5 employees.
