Korea Minimum Wage and Overtime Pay Guide

This guide is a safe checklist that foreigners working in Korea can look at first when checking the minimum wage, overtime work, night work, and holiday work.

Wage calculation varies depending on the employment contract, actual working hours, the size of the workplace, break time, comprehensive wage agreements (포괄임금 약정), and deduction items. This document is not a calculator, and to determine whether wages have actually been withheld, check with the Ministry of Employment and Labor (고용노동부) 1350 or a labor affairs specialist, using your pay statement and work records.
