It doesn't matter. I'm a sub-contractor, so I'm not entitled to the pension anyway.


What matters is the DEFINITION OF EMPLOYEE in the national pension act. If you fit the definition, you are entitled to pension.

Article 3 (Definitions)
(1) The definitions of the terms used in this Act shall be as follows:
1. The term "employee" means a person (including directors and officers of a corporate body) who offers service, regardless of the type of occupation, in a workplace and whose livelihood depends upon the wages received in return for the service

So my pay in my contract is 2,300,000. My school tells me that they're under-reporting my income at 1,600,000. So what would my health insurance deductions be, based on both numbers? They're currently deducting 71,065W which (according to my math) means that, going by the under-reported number, they are not in fact paying 'their half' of the health insurance plan.

But, can someone here just double-check that for me?

Also, how do you know if you're a sub-contractor or if you're an employee (for pension reasons)?


There is so much wrong with it I don't even know where to start.

By reducing your reported wage they will reduce their effective wage cost by around 100.000 won, but at the same time reducing your effective Total YEARLY wage by approximately 1M won.

So their gain is your loss.

The fact that they are scrounging for such little savings might also be indicative of other problems.

Good luck.
