MINIMUM WAGES(最低工资)

MINIMUM WAGES 
  Korean labor law obliges employers to pay above the minimum amount of wage to employees. Minimum wage is determined on an annual basis, and in 2013, the hourly minimum wage rate is 4,860 won, daily wage rate( on a 8-hour basis) is 38,880 won, and in case of 40 hours per week(209 hours per month), the monthly wage will amount 957,220 won.
  Korean Minimum Wage Act is basically applied to every business or workplace employing workers which, of course, include foreigners. Exceptional cases exist where the minimum wage can be reduced, such as apprentices, and where the Minimum Wage Act is not applied, such as a workplace that employ only relatives living  together or domestic workers, or a sailor who is subject to the seamen law or an owner of ship employing sailor.
  If your labor contract provides for a wage that is less than the minimum wage rate, then it shall be considered to stipulate that the same wage as the minimum wage rate shall be paid.
  When you have to decide whether or not the minimum wage is fulfilled, you need to calculate the total wage, which excludes bonus, the wage which is paid for the non-contractual working hours such as extended work allowance, holiday work allowance, etc., and also allowances paid for an employee's living support or welfare(meal costs, etc.). Then, you convert that total wage into hourly rate and compare it to the minimum hourly rate. 



   最低工资

 韩国的劳动法正迫使雇佣主给职员支付最少金额以上的工资。最低工资是每年决定的,以2013年为基准 每小时最低工资比率是4860韩币,每天(8小时基准)是38,880韩币。一周以工作40小时为基准(一个月是209小时)一个月最低工资是95万7千2百20元韩币。

   韩国的最低工资法原则上适用于使用劳动者的所有行业或者工作场所,上边所说的劳动者当然也包括外国人。另外,有适用最低工资减额或者不适用最低工资的情况,例如,实习劳动者的情况可以适用最低工资减额。只使用同居亲属的行业从事者或者家事使用者,对于适用船员法的船员和使用船员的船舶的所有者等来说不适用最低工资法。

  你的劳动合同如果提供比最低工资还要低的工资的话,那就应该视为规定应当支付与最低工资相同的工资。

  如果你签了接受不到最低工资的金额的劳动合同的情况,视为决定支付与最低工资相同的工资。

  判断履行最低工资与否的情况是,除去奖金、规定劳动时间没有支付的工资(例如:延长工作补贴等)、生活补助或者作为福利厚生的补贴等(餐费)后 计算的总工资,那个工资转换为小时工资与每小时最低工资比较就可以了。
