South Korea will run a test operation of a mobile service that will allow foreign workers to calculate their severance pay, Human Resources Development of Korea said Monday.
In order to check their severance pay, foreign workers on the E-9 visa must sign up on the website of the Employment Permit System (www.eps.go.kr, English version: www.eps.go.kr/ph/index.html). The foreign worker can then access the mobile app on Android’s Play Store by searching “EPS” and downloading an app from the Labor Ministry that in Korean translates to “management of foreign employers.”
Users must log into the EPS app using their ID and password from the EPS homepage, and can use the app to calculate their severance pay based on their employment status and additional information such as their average pay.
The test service will be run from Tuesday until Dec. 31, according to the HRD Korea. The test version will be provided in Korean, English, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Indonesian, and the official version ― slated for launch next year ― is expected to feature 15 languages.
