I am experiencing problems recieving my final months pay and severence from my school on my final day. i have been advised to contact the labour force or labour board. where is this ir whats a phone nember and is this the correct thing to do? it is looking very unlikely they will pay me on my final day. they are claiming to have no money and that they will just pay me before the end of the year. i dont think this seems acceptable.

This is a link to the only foreign attorney employed by the Korean government. It has tons of info on this very subject. Check it out. You do have recourse if you act quickly. Good luck.

Good luck phil. Time is short and you've nothing to lose. I bet they'll miraculously come up with the money owed at the first mention of the labor board
