I have suffered wage arrears for several months.

If a company does not pay wages to be paid as compensation for employment and labor on the agreed date, it constitutes wage arrears.

Wage arrears include cases where wages or bonuses are unilaterally reduced, where bonuses are unilaterally returned, and where retirement allowances are not paid within 14 days from the date of retirement.

​Workers who have not received wages can demand to receive overdue wages through reporting, or request that the employer be punished for violating the Labor Standards Act.

If you want to report due to wage arrears, you can file a complaint with the labor office or proceed with civil lawsuit procedures with the help of an attorney.

The wage arrears complaint procedure prepares materials needed for resolution, visits in person, and reports to the Ministry of Employment and Labor with jurisdiction over the workplace, through which fact-finding is conducted.

If a wage arrears report is filed and an order to pay overdue wages is issued but the employer continues to delay payment, criminal punishment will follow, and to receive the overdue wages, a civil lawsuit can be filed.

Civil lawsuit procedures involve complex procedures and legal knowledge that are difficult to handle alone, so it is good to proceed with civil lawsuit filing procedures with the assistance of a civil specialist attorney with extensive case handling experience.

When proceeding with a civil lawsuit, we also represent settlements with employers and applications for substitute payment if necessary.

Our firm's criminal/civil specialist attorneys provide legal services for resolving client cases related to wage arrears reports.
