Are you legally entitled to severance pay even if you signed a contract with a clause saying you agree to give it up? Hopefully someone out there has experience with this situation. |

Yes.  Severance pay is mandatory under Korean Labor Law.  Such a clause would be illegal and null and void.  Of course that depends on whether your friend has finished an entire year and was working legally all that time. |
