South Korea Employment Contract Form

Streamline Your Korean Employment Contracts with Paperform

Hiring employees in South Korea requires strict adherence to the Labor Standards Act (근로기준법) and associated regulations. This South Korea Employment Contract Form template is designed specifically for businesses operating in Korea—whether you're a local SMB, a foreign company with Korean operations, or an HR consultancy managing multiple clients.

Built for Korean Labor Law Compliance

This template includes all mandatory employment contract elements required under Korean law, including detailed job descriptions, wage structures, working hours, probation period terms, severance pay calculations, and termination procedures. It helps ensure your employment agreements meet the standards set by the Ministry of Employment and Labor (고용노동부) while maintaining clarity for both employer and employee.

Smart Calculations and Conditional Logic

Paperform's built-in calculation engine automatically handles complex severance pay calculations based on tenure and final wages, computes statutory leave entitlements, and adjusts contract terms based on employment type (regular, fixed-term, or part-time). Conditional logic ensures that only relevant sections appear based on the employee's position and contract type, creating a streamlined experience.

Automate Your HR Workflows with Stepper

Once a contract is submitted, use Stepper to automate your entire onboarding workflow. Automatically generate formatted contract documents, route approvals through your management chain, create employee records in your HRIS, schedule orientation sessions, and trigger payroll setup—all without manual handoffs.

Secure eSignatures with Papersign

After contract terms are finalized, send the agreement for secure electronic signature using Papersign. Both employer and employee can sign digitally, creating a legally compliant audit trail that's automatically linked to the original form submission. This eliminates printing, scanning, and physical document storage while maintaining full legal validity.

Professional, Bilingual Design

The form can be customized to include both Korean and English language options, making it suitable for international hires and multinational organizations. Paperform's doc-style editor lets you add your company logo, adjust the visual theme to match your brand, and embed the form directly into your HR portal or recruitment platform.
