Official route

Know the filing journey before you send anything.

LaborMap helps you prepare facts and documents for your own use. The official complaint, petition, or request is still yours to review, sign, and submit through the proper government route.

Check deadlines early

Wage, dismissal, injury, harassment, and immigration-adjacent issues can have different routes and deadlines. Verify the route before waiting, especially if you are leaving Korea or a contract term is ending.

A practical filing workflow

Use this as a checklist, not as legal advice.

  1. 01

    Prepare facts first

    Use the Case Builder, scanner, calculators, and timeline to organize dates, amounts, evidence, and possible issues before drafting.

  2. 02

    Confirm the correct route

    Many wage complaints go through the Labor Office, while some dismissal, injury, harassment, or other matters may need a different authority or a separate process.

  3. 03

    Find the responsible office

    For Labor Office matters, the office is usually tied to the workplace address. Confirm jurisdiction before submitting.

  4. 04

    Submit through an official channel

    The Labor Portal, visiting the local office, mail, or fax may be relevant depending on the matter and office practice. Keep proof of submission and call to confirm receipt when needed.

  5. 05

    Track the investigation and notices

    Save every message, call note, attendance request, correction request, and result notice. If you cannot attend or communicate in Korean, arrange help early.
