MINISTRY OF LABOR Order is hereby given, for the revision of "Reasonable Labor Remuneration Criteria Regulated Under Article 47 of Employment Service Act for Recruitment of Local Workers to Engage in Construction Jobs Specified in Subparagraph 10 of Paragraph 1 of Article 46" (revision shall become effective from 1st, January 2025).

Article 47, Paragraph 1 of the Employment Service Act stipulates: "Employers must first recruit domestically under reasonable working conditions. If recruitment cannot meet their needs, they may then apply to address the shortfall." In other words, employers are required to seek domestic talent under reasonable conditions, and only when this effort proves unsuccessful can they hire foreign workers. This amendment specifically revises the definition of "reasonable working conditions" for construction jobs during the domestic recruitment process.

For changes in the amounts, please refer to the attachment, which includes a total of 16 items categorized into "monthly salary" and "daily salary." Please note the following:

"If a job applicant provides proof of at least one year of relevant work experience, the offered salary must not be lower than the average regular salary.
If the work experience is less than one year or the applicant cannot provide proof of work experience, the offered salary must not fall below the minimum salary threshold."
