-> The user should give at least minimum wage or more to the workers. (Minimum Wage Law as of September 2002, 514,150 won a month / 2,275 won an hour)
-> For this law, the user should not lower the previous wages down to minimum wage.
-> If wage lower than minimum wage is settled on a contract, the contract loses its effectiveness for this clause and wage should be paid as much as minimum wage.
-> Pay attention to the fact that some bonuses are not included in minimum wage!
* Bonus paid not regularly or evenly such as bonus for diligence, for continuous work, for encouragement, for efficiency, for marriage, for exercise or for kimjang
* Bonus for no absenteeism or for overwork such as bonus for monthly leave or yearly leave, for work of holidays or overtime work, work at night, or menstrual leave

@ "I've worked for 5 years in a company as contract worker without monthly off, menstrual leave, yearly leave, and payment for Sundays. My contract has been renewed 6 times but I was told that they would not renew my contract any more due to the expiration of my contract without any previous notification."

-> Though there's fixed period in a contract, if the contract has been renewed a few times, the contract worker should be treated equally as permanent worker. Whether the renewals in written or unspoken, the renewals are approved effective.
-> As the renewal of contract is approved effective, unilateral notification to fire comes under unjust dismissal if contract workers have renewed their contracts a few times. In this case, to reject renewal of contract for the excuse of its expiration falls under unjust dismissal. Dismissal needs proper reasons.
-> Even though you are an irregular worker such as a part-timer or a contract worker, you should be given monthly off, menstrual leave and yearly leave as well as payment for holidays if you work for the days promised without absenteeism. (Labor Standard Law)
