here is a good article that pretty much refutes the drivel apologists like ontheway have been saying for years that being an independent contractor is legal

apparently according to kimmig it is illegal to employ an e2 visa holder as an independent contractor is illegal it just sounds like they dont have the manpower to enforce it


The Seoul High Court ruled on the CDI case back in November. The decision was that the teachers were clearly employees and not independent contractors. CDI was forced to make some huge compensation payments to each of the teachers (over 40 million Won to some of them).


I've have been saying this for years.

I'm surprised that Ontheway hasn't yet posted to say that he wants to see official, translated court transcripts accompanied by an explanation from the judge before we can consider this relevant.

A labor advocate for foreign teachers advised that expats in Dirk’s position take a copy of their contract into the appropriate government department with a statement of the E-2 conditions and regulations.

“In the past that was enough to get them registered and on their way, with a bill sent to the employer with a small fine,” the labor advocate said.


Where can one go about finding the "statement of E-2 conditions and regulations"

Nice article, but not helpful if the documents that can help get your registered for your entitlements aren't readily accessible.

3.) Also, what do we call an Independent Contractor in the Korean language? Please provide what it is called in "한국어," so that my employer and I are on the same page here, so that we can report it properly.


그러니까 thats the same information im tryna get


Please be polite next time, even though there are plenty of openly rude individuals online and in South Korea. ~

Independent Contractor = 개인사업자 ~

For further inquiry in regards to this matter, PM ttompatz about it. ~

He has all of the answers as long as your questions are clearly and consisely addressed to him. ~

AND PLEASE BE POLITE NEXT TIME, TONTO. (With your level of impatience and overall rudeness, you may as well be from South Carolina?) ~

DO THAT PLENTY OF TIMES, AND YOU'LL GET FURTHER IN LIFE. ~


My impoliteness was directed at others who had already not answered my question (despite coming back to post additional comments in the debate) when I did ask politely, friend. Sometimes you have to talk loud to get information out of people who are arguing. Thank you for keeping track of an old post and coming back to it when you found the answer to your(our) question

also I take insults to either carolina srsly Wink


I understand where you are coming from, man. ~

Let's all learn to get along here. Cool
