When you’re running a multijurisdictional organization — or even when you’re just working or trading with organizations in different territories — you need to be aware of differences in local culture and law. To help you do this, Brightmine is launching the ultimate resource for navigating employment law in South Korea — the South Korea International Employment Law Guide.

Our International employment law editors offer a preliminary peek into South Korean employment law, with a few “Did you know?” facts.

Authored by a reputable local law firm, the Brightmine South Korea guide covers the entire employment lifecycle, offering practical insights and expert guidance. Designed in a user-friendly format, the guide simplifies complex legal concepts, with clear navigation and a logical structure. Stay ahead with monthly updates, ensuring you have the latest information at your fingertips on topics such as paternity and maternity leave and income tax, social security and minimum wage rates. Whether you’re expanding your business into South Korea or managing HR responsibilities, trust this guide to provide the knowledge needed for success in the global workforce.

We will be adding South Korea as a new country guide to join our suite of 40+ employment law guides for HR professionals for staff outside the US.
