Counseling ServiceHow to Respond to Human Rights ViolationsAt factories, people often use bad languages. Sometimes they are not particularly angry but curse out of habit. It is only natural that you get angry when you hear band languages or curse words. When that happens, try not to start a fight. Instead ask the person to stop. If the situation is likely to escalate into an argument, leave the place to continue later. If the same situation is repeated, talk to your employer. If the situation does not improve, contact a counseling assistance center. ▶ Labor Ministry Offices ▶ KWCWS ▶ Korea Employment Information Service

Work Safety
Industrial Accidents and Compensation
The Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act provides for treatment and compensation for employees. Getting treatment and compensation for an industrial accident often requires complicated procedures and may take a long time depending on the type of the accident and the extent of the injury. In addition, there are many different kinds of documents you need to submit to the Korea Workers’ Compensation and Welfare Service (KWCWS). If you are unable to obtain sufficient information either from your employer or the hospital or you don’t understand the information provided, you should go to a counseling organization and ask for help. Below is what you should know about industrial accidents.
• In general, the employer applies for industrial accident compensation. If your employer does not do it for you, you or your family memeber can go to the KWCWS and apply for compensation, or go to a counseling organization and ask for help. • In case of an accident, the initial treatment is critical. Be sure to be seen and treated by a specialist. Particularly in case of an finger amputation accident, you must demand to be taken to a hospital that can perform a finger replantation surgery with the cutoff finger(s) within 24 hours of the accident. • If the injury happens while at work, you can still receive compensation even if it is a result of your mistake. • You can receive your sick leave benefits and disability compensation only through your own banck account. Therefore, if you are injured in an industrial accident and begin to receive treatment, make a bank account immediately and keep the bankbook in a safe place. • While an employee is on a sick leave due to an industrial accident, the employer may not terminate his/her employment or force him/her to leave the country. Some foreign employees are forced to leave the country while recuperating from an injury due to an industrial accident because they are not familiar with the law. In some cases, an employee dies from an industrial accident and the family does not receive any compensation because they are not familiar with the Korean situation. In order to avoid such an unfortunate situation, you should talk to a counseling assistance organization to find out about your rights. ▶ Details of Compensation • Medical Costs Assistance - Provides 70% of your wage during the treatment period. - Helps pay for a caregiver in case you need one. - Provides disability compensation in case your state of incapacity continues after the treatment is complete. - Provides assistance in case you have a relapse after the treatment is complete. - Pays family compensation and funeral expenses to the surviving family members in case of a death. - Provides professional development training and skills training in case you are given a disability rating between 1 and 14, your visa is valid for another year or longer, and you have the Korean language skills. • Occupational Diseases - You are entitled to the industrial accident insurance benefits and receive treatment and compensation if it is officially recognized that your condition has been caused by your work. ▶ Rehabilitation Training - Anyone who becomes disabled by an industrial accident, is given a disability rating between 1 and 14 as a result and 50 years of age is entitled to professional development and skills training at the Rehabilitation Training Center of the Korea Workers’ Compensation and Welfare Service (KWCWS). While training, you are provided with living accomodation, meals and a certain amount of training pay. In case you participate in a job training program at a private training institution, the KWCWS may pay the costs. If you are a victim of an industrial accident and became disabled as a result, learn more about this and take advantage of it. Safe Working Environment
▶ Basic Safety Rules To prevent accidents at work, it is very important to: frequently tidy up and clean your work area and the aisles and passageways in the vicinity to ensure they are clear of any obstacles. Check often to make sure there are no slippery spots. Below are the safety rules that must be observed at all work sites at all times. • Hazardous materials must be sorted by type and placed in the specified containers and specified locations. • While working, be sure to put on your work uniform; do not smoke, eat or drink while remaining at the work site. • Be sure to put on the safety gears, including the safety helmet and safety boots. • Put on your safety gloves instead of cotton gloves when you work on a rotating machine. • Put on your safety goggles when you peform a job that may cause fine dust particles or residues to fly, such as cutting or grinding. • Put on your safety (gas) mask when you perform a job that involves handling organic solvents, such as a detergent or glue. • Familiarize yourself with the locations of the emergency exits. • Know where the first aid kit and the fire extinguishers are located. • Familiarize yourself with the meaning of each safety signs and message. • Wash your hands thoroughly before you eat.

Social Security System
How It Works
There are four types of social indurance programs that apply to all employees: health insurance, industrial accident insurance, employment insurance and national pension plan. Foreign employees can enjoy the same benefits. ▶ Health Insurance Health insurance helps you pay for your medical costs incurred when you visit hospitals or clinics. The premium is shared equally by the employer and the employee. ▶ Industrial Accident Insurance Industrial accident insurance helps you pay for the treatment and provides compensation in case you get injured at work or develop an illness resulting from your work. The premium is paid by the employer. ▶ Employment Insurance Employment insurance provides you with unemployment benefits in case you are temporarily out of work until you find a new employment. The premium is equally shared by the employer and the employee. All Employment Permit Program employees are obligated to sign up for the employment insurance under law. Therefore, just like Koreans, if you work for an employer for 180 days or longer and then lose your job, you are entitled to apply for unemployment benefits at the Employment Stability Center. However, because of the opinion that foreign workers receive fewer benefits from signing up for the insurance than Koreans do, it is no longer obligatory to sign up. ▶ National Pension Plan Under the plan, employees contributes a certain amount of premium until they are 59 years old and start receiving pension when they turn to 60. The premium is deducted from the employee’s monthly wage. Not all foreign employees are obligated to join. Among the countries under the Employment Permit Program, 9 countries (Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Uzbekistan, China, Kazakhstan, Thailand, the Philippines and Kyrkyzstan) are obligated to join the pension plan under the “Convention between Republic of Korea and the Countries of Origin of Foreign Employees.” And employees from four of these countries (Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and Thailand [under certain conditions]) can get their contribution back on leaving Korea. There is an argument that applying the national pension plan that provides benefits for retirees aged 60 years or older to foreign employees who should return to their countries after three years of employment is not appropriate. The decision whether to continue to apply is expected to be made shortly. However, until then, you don‘t have any choice but to pay the premium.
