Sorry, I know this is in the frequently asked questions but I have done a quick search and can't find it, I'm currently using internet cafes so don't have much time.
Is the 30 day notice period for resignation and termination of contract a legal requirement? I have a contract which is 2 months for resignation and 2 weeks for contract termination but apart from that is great. I just wondered where I stood in negotitating as at the moment they won't budge!
Thanks |

Under current Korean labor law, IF you work for an employer for more than 6 months, they are required to give you 30 days notice or 30 days pay before they can terminate your employment. There are exceptions to this and they are clearly defined in articles 31,32,33, of the labor act.

You do NOT legally need to give notice to quit.
You CANNOT contract away the 30 day protection from termination of employment
BUT
Having said that, you CAN contract away your right to quit without notice.
30, 45 and 60 days are common numbers in labor contracts and this is acceptable under current law.
