4. Q: Could you tell us something about the Korean Employment Examination?
A: All KLT workers who go to China for employment through the employment system must take the Korean Proficiency Test for Employment System (EPS- Korean) and pass the test. At present, EPS-KLT is only held in Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province, Shandong Province and Henan Province. Workers need to predict their names through the Internet. After drawing lots and winning lots, you can get the admission ticket and take part in the exams held at the test centers in this province. The examination notice and the list of qualified personnel will be published on the websites of the Economic Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce and relevant provinces. The specific examination time of EPS-KLT every year is determined by the relevant departments of China and South Korea through consultation according to the actual business situation. EPS-KLT adopts closed-book method, and the examination time is 90 minutes, which is divided into written test and listening test. The sum of the two parts is the total score of the candidates. The question bank of this exam can be downloaded from the website of the Economic Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, and the content of the exam will not exceed the content of the question bank.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Q: How to have a physical examination? What are the requirements?
A: Laborers who pass the examination will participate in the physical examination according to the notice of local institutions in this province, and the specific procedures and requirements will be uniformly arranged and announced by local institutions. According to the relevant requirements of the employment system, workers need to attend the second physical examination organized by the ROK after going to Korea. If the medical examination fails, they will be sent back to China. So remind all those who have passed the exam to pay attention and attend the physical examination according to the regulations.
6. Q: Can people who have entered the job roster definitely go to Korea?
A: Those who pass the Korean exam will be entered into the job-seeker roster after passing the medical examination, and the roster will be open to Korean employers to choose. Please remember that the employment system is a system for selecting foreign workers according to the needs of Korean employers. Even if you pass the medical examination and enter the list of job seekers, there is no guarantee that you will be selected by the employer to work in South Korea. Due to the employer's reasons, a considerable number of workers may not be selected. At the same time, the order of entering the list of job seekers has nothing to do with being selected by the employer and when to work in Korea.
Q: What should workers pay attention to when signing a labor contract?
A: Laborers should read the terms of the contract carefully and fully understand its meaning. If you don't understand anything, please ask the staff of local institutions to help you interpret it. The wage standard signed by workers shall not be lower than the annual minimum wage standard issued by the Korean Ministry of Labor. If it is difficult to accept the important terms such as working hours, overtime regulations, salary level, insurance and vacation proposed by the employer, please carefully consider whether to sign the contract. In addition, workers should be reminded that those who refuse to sign the contract for more than two times without justifiable reasons will be deleted from the list of job seekers and may not apply for a job again within one year.
8. Q: Why should I attend pre-departure education and training?
A: After signing the contract, workers must participate in the pre-job education, training and assessment organized by local institutions in this province.

After completing the training and passing the exam, workers can go to Korea to work.
Q: What is the working environment in Korea and the protection of the rights and interests of foreign workers?
A: Korea has a good political, economic and social environment, with relatively few dangers such as war, plague and natural disasters, and good public security. China and South Korea have close economic and trade cooperation, similar customs and habits, and relatively good working environment. The Korean government has formulated laws and regulations to protect the rights and interests of workers. Foreign workers can enjoy the same labor-related legal treatment as Koreans during their legal work, such as labor law, minimum wage law, industrial security law and so on. In addition, South Korea has laws and regulations such as the Employment of Foreign Workers Law and the Employment Insurance System for Foreign Workers. The Korean Ministry of Labor has set up a special employment support center and comprehensive consultation center for foreign workers to handle applications for job changes, accept complaints from foreign workers, and provide language assistance and consultation services.
10. Q: Under the employment system, what do workers who go to Korea usually do?
A: At present, under the employment system, laborers going to Korea are mainly engaged in five industries: manufacturing, construction, agriculture and animal husbandry, service and fishery. Most of these industries are 3D jobs that Koreans are unwilling to engage in (that is, "dirty, tired and dangerous"), and it is generally difficult to recruit Korean labor. Moreover, the scale of foreign workers employed by Korean enterprises is generally small, mostly small and medium-sized enterprises with less than 300 employees, especially small enterprises with dozens of employees.
1 1. Q: What are the working hours and incomes of foreign workers in Korea?
A: According to Korean laws such as the Employment of Foreign Workers Law, foreign workers working in Korea enjoy the protection of the minimum wage, that is, the minimum wage cannot be lower than the salary announced by the government, and the annual minimum wage is announced by the Korean Ministry of Labor. In 20 10, the minimum wage standard published by the Korean Ministry of Labor was 4 1 10 won/hour, and the standard working hours per week were divided into 40 hours and 44 hours according to the industry differences.
Q: What are the living conditions and expenses of foreign workers in Korean enterprises?
A: According to the sample standard labor contract formulated by the Korean Ministry of Labor, the accommodation standard and accommodation fee should be determined by the employer and the employee through consultation after the employee arrives in Korea.
13. Q: What insurance can foreign workers enjoy in Korea?
A: According to relevant Korean laws, foreign workers should enjoy four kinds of employment insurance stipulated in the Foreign Labor Employment Law: repatriation expiration insurance (equivalent to "severance payment"), repatriation expense insurance, wage payment insurance and accidental injury insurance. In addition, you can also enjoy four social insurances: national annuity (equivalent to "pension"), accident insurance (equivalent to "work injury insurance"), national health insurance (equivalent to "medical insurance") and employment insurance (equivalent to "unemployment insurance"). The above eight insurances basically cover the problems that may be involved when foreign workers work in Korea. What workers need to pay attention to is that at present, the insurance situation of foreign workers in different employers in Korea is not completely consistent.
Q: How long can foreign workers work in Korea? How to update the contract or work unit during work?
A: Under the employment system, foreign workers can legally work in Korea for up to five years, during which their families cannot accompany them. You must leave the country after working for five years. If you want to work in Korea again, you need to go through the relevant procedures again according to the relevant provisions of the employment system. During the five-year period, foreign workers and employers can independently negotiate to determine the specific term of each contract, but the maximum term of each contract is not more than three years, and the contract can be renewed after its expiration. After renewing the contract, you should also submit an application for extension of residence permit to the exit-entry administration office where your work unit is located. When it is necessary to change the work unit due to the inevitable reasons such as the closure of the enterprise, the migrant labor force shall apply to the local employment support center for changing the work unit, and the number of times of changing the work unit shall be limited to three times in principle. Workers should pay attention to that when choosing a new work unit, they must be introduced by the employment support center, and they must not find a work unit by themselves through the introduction of friends or private intermediaries, otherwise they will be regarded as illegal residence and punished by the exit-entry administration department. Illegal residents will be banned from re-entering Korea after being repatriated.
15. Q: What other things need special attention when working in Korea?
A: 1. Abide by the laws and regulations of China and South Korea, and respect the traditional Korean etiquette.
2. Korean labor law only applies to enterprises or business premises that employ more than 5 employees all the year round.
3. you need to apply for relevant insurance and foreigner registration certificate in time after entering the country.
4. Abide by the contractual obligations, return to China on schedule, and avoid off-duty and illegal detention.
5. Enhance awareness of prevention and avoid contact with and participation in various illegal organizations and activities.
A: At present, China and South Korea only carry out relevant follow-up work for the first batch of qualified Korean examiners, and have not arranged to hold the second Korean exam this year. Once the two sides decide to hold the second Korean exam, they will issue a notice on the relevant websites of our bureau and four provinces in time.
A: At present, some illegal intermediaries, enterprises and individuals in the society, under the banner of employment-oriented labor cooperation between China and South Korea, promise to speed up the procedures for going to Korea or improve the chances of being selected by employers, and lure and defraud laborers. In particular, we remind the laborers to be vigilant, not to trust their promises, not to entrust these illegal intermediaries or enterprises to go through the formalities of working in Korea, and not to pay them any fees. At the same time, we should go to Korea to work through formal channels to avoid unnecessary losses. If you find that you have been cheated, you should report, reflect and complain to the local public security, commerce and industry and commerce authorities in time.
