Hello there,

I wish to file a complaint at the LB regarding my unpaid severance (and the rest).

I've moved areas; do I need to file in the district my old school was in or can I file in my new area?

Also, I've been having great trouble actually reaching the LB. Each time I call it rings and rings for ages and then a voice says "sorry! we're busy. Goodbye!" or something like that. Can I just visit the LB with my documents without calling them first?

Lastly, I fly out of here in a couple of days. I'm planning to return as a tourist after Christmas just to try and get what is rightfully mine. Do I still have the same rights as a tourist?

Thank you.

File before you go or when you return.

If you file now, chances are they won't do anything 'til you return anyway. If you file and don't tell them you're leaving they may try to contact you while you're away, which would be a problem for you.

If you file when you return you'll have to keep a copy of your ARC, your contract and any bankbooks you've had showing deposits from the employer- they'll ask to see those later at the interview.

You file at the office in the suburb of your employer...and it's a personal claim, so they may even direct you to another office. Basically get your ex-employer's home address and file in their suburb...that's the rule...or...get a korean friend to help you and file online- it's very simple.

Good luck
