Does anyone have a link where it says NHIC is now mandatory for foreigners? Either in English or Korean, I need to show it to my boss.
She told me that the health coverage was optional and if I wanted to opt in it would cost 70,000 a month. So I opted out. |

Go to: When is the effective date of coverage for the employee insured?
The enrollment is effective on the employee's first date at work. For the employees who hadn't been covered by the NHI program, their coverage has been compulsory (mandatory) since the first of January in 2006.
Your employer is required to deduct 2.24% from your monthly salary.
1,800,000 Korean Won = 40,320 KRW
1,900,000 Korean Won = 42,560 KRW
2,000,000 Korean Won = 44,800 KRW
2,100,000 Korean Won = 47,040 KRW
2,200,000 Korean Won = 49,280 KRW
2,300,000 Korean Won = 51,520 KRW
If she deducts 70,000 Korean per month from your monthly salary, then she's full of  ! |
