Generate 5 types of Korean standard employment contracts via a 10-minute wizard with real-time Labor Act violation warnings.

About this tool

Korean Employment Contract Generator builds compliant labor contracts for 5 employment types β€” full-time, fixed-term, part-time, daily, probation β€” through a 5-minute wizard. It includes all 11 mandatory clauses required by Labor Standards Act Β§17 and its enforcement decree (wages, hours, holidays, annual leave, workplace, duties, contract period). Real-time warnings flag potential LSA violations: minimum wage (β‚©10,030/h in 2026), 52-hour weekly cap, 3-month probation ceiling, and mandatory rest breaks. Auto-detects 4-major-insurance enrollment, prints two signed copies (worker + employer), and runs entirely in your browser β€” no payroll data is sent to a server.

Use cases

Scenario 1

SMB owner hires the first employee

A cafΓ© or salon owner hiring their first full-time staffer prints a contract with all 11 LSA Β§17 items and 4-insurance guidance in five minutes.

Scenario 2

Part-time job with weekly holiday pay

For a 20-hour-per-week part-timer, the contract auto-states the weekly holiday-pay entitlement for staff working 15+ hours and showing perfect attendance β€” heading off later disputes.

Scenario 3

Probation + 90% minimum-wage rule

For a 1-year+ contract in a non-elementary role, generate the 90%-of-minimum-wage probation clause within the 3-month legal ceiling.

Scenario 4

Fixed-term renewal / conversion to permanent

Avoid automatic conversion to permanent status by carefully drafting a fixed-term renewal that documents valid renewal grounds and duration.

Scenario 5

Construction daily worker (industrial-accident & daily wage)

For a construction day-laborer, the contract auto-explains immediate industrial-accident coverage, daily-wage payment, and conversion to 4-insurance after 8+ days/month.

Frequently asked

Q. Must the contract be in writing?
A. Yes β€” written or electronic, two copies, with one delivered to the worker on the spot (LSA Β§17(2)). Failure can lead to a fine of up to β‚©5M per worker.
Q. How long can probation last?
A. No statutory cap, but the 90% minimum-wage discount is only valid for 1-year+ contracts in non-elementary roles within the first 3 months. Practice norm is 3 months or less.
Q. When does weekly holiday pay apply?
A. When the worker is scheduled for 15+ hours/week and meets perfect attendance for that week, one paid day off accrues β€” including a 20h/week part-timer.
Q. Can a fixed-wage clause eliminate overtime pay?
A. Only valid for roles where hours are genuinely hard to measure. Recent Supreme Court rulings invalidate fixed-wage clauses that erase overtime in regular office or sales jobs.
Q. Do part-timers need 4-major-insurance?
A. Industrial-accident applies immediately. Employment, pension, and health kick in at 60+ hours/month or when other conditions are met. The tool auto-detects this.
