As a result of a questionnaire survey conducted from December 4th to December 11th of last year among 1,000 office workers aged 19 and over nationwide regarding their experiences of losing their jobs and receiving unemployment insurance.
The same results were announced on the 21st. According to this survey, one in ten office workers (12.3%) experienced unemployment last year. An office worker who lost his job
74.1% left the company for reasons other than personal reasons, such as dismissal, forced resignation, voluntary retirement, or contract expiration, but of these, about half (54.9%) did not receive unemployment insurance. In particular, there are 10 non-regular workers.
Six middle school students (63.3%) are not receiving unemployment insurance. Some office workers who lost their jobs last year are said to have not received unemployment insurance even though they were fired due to threats from their employers or revisions to the reasons for dismissal.
The results of the investigation are out. Employee A was instructed by his boss to submit a resignation letter during a meeting earlier this month. His superiors demanded that he write ``damage caused by inadequate development'' as the reason for his resignation. However, Mr. A
threatened to put his desk in the basement if he refused to submit. Mr. B, an office worker, received a notice of dismissal from his human resources representative in November last year and made arrangements with the company to plan his departure. However, the employer may give personal reasons for leaving the company.

△The requirements of Article 40 of the Employment Insurance Act must be met, such as that the reason for leaving the job is not for personal reasons. In July last year, the government and ruling party lowered the lower limit for unemployment benefits, which is currently 80% of the minimum wage.
The government announced that it would consider ways to eliminate or eliminate the problem. This measure was taken because it was pointed out that unemployment benefits were higher than the monthly salary calculated by the minimum wage. Political parties are concerned about repeated receipt of unemployment benefits, irregular supply and demand, and low number of unemployment benefit recipients.
The government stated that the re-employment rate must be improved, and announced that it would consider strengthening the payment requirements for unemployment benefits and lowering or abolishing the minimum amount.
One out of two office workers (51.4%) said, ``Korea's social security system is not sufficient due to situations such as job loss.''
”, it is understood that he opposes the government policy. 64% of respondents said they ``disagree'' with the government pursuing legal reforms that would lower or remove the minimum unemployment pay limit.
Workplace Harassment 119 reflects the purpose of the system that was introduced to reduce the livelihood insecurity of unemployed workers and support re-employment by reducing the amount of supply and demand and the number of people subject to supply and demand, thereby stabilizing the economy.
``In order to protect vulnerable employees, it is urgent to expand employment insurance coverage and improve the system by giving both labor and management the authority to draw up separation confirmation forms, which only employers have.''
I made it. Cho Young-hoon, a labor consultant for Workplace Harassment 119, said, ``Reducing or abolishing the minimum amount of unemployment benefits will affect workers in workplaces with fewer than five people and non-regular workers who have no choice but to repeatedly find and lose jobs.
``What the government needs to worry about now is how to prevent vulnerable workers from frequently quitting their jobs and not receiving unemployment benefits.''
