Employment Policy

From employment policy, HR systems, and working condition design to employment regulatory compliance,
we build the legal foundation for a company's entire employment environment.

01

Overview

Employment policy covers the design of employment lifecycle systems spanning hiring, personnel management, compensation, and retirement, as well as corporate responses to changes in government employment policy (employment promotion, employment insurance, employment security, etc.). The core focus is developing work rules and HR policies, designing compensation structures, introducing flexible working arrangements, and building compliance frameworks for employment-related laws including the Employment Insurance Act, Framework Act on Employment Policy, and Equal Employment Opportunity Act.

PYEONG AN's labor law specialists design customized employment systems reflecting each company's industry characteristics and HR practices, and formulate proactive response strategies for government employment policy changes such as minimum wage increases, expanded 52-hour work week enforcement, and non-regular worker conversion policies.

We demonstrate differentiated advisory expertise in adverse modification procedures for work rules at large establishments, employment stabilization plan design in redundancy dismissals and voluntary retirement programs, and legal risk response to diversified employment forms (platform labor, gig workers, freelancers).

We also support corporate employment environments holistically, including Ministry of Employment and Labor workplace inspection response, advisory on utilization of government employment subsidies and grants, and ESG-driven employment diversity and inclusion policy development.
