Ⅰ Overview of Labor Laws

1. Purpose

■ To regulate the terms and conditions of employment and labormanagement relations to ensure workers' humane living conditions and equality between workers and employers.

2. Classification

■ Labor laws can be largely classified into four groups as follows: laws on individual labor relations, laws on collective labor relations, laws on collaborative labor relations, and other employment-related laws.

① Laws on individual labor relations
    - To regulate labor relations between individual workers and employers.
    - To present criteria for entering into an employment contract, the details of labor relations and its revision and
      termination, etc. in order to protect workers' terms and conditions of employment.

② Laws on collective labor relations
    - To regulate labor relations between workers' groups such as labor unions and workers' representatives and

      employers.
    - To ensure the association of workers who are at a financial and social disadvantage so that they can maintain an

      equal relationship with employers, thereby realizing labormanagement autonomy.
