무급휴직 신속 지원 내일부터 시행...32만명에 최대 150만원씩
From tomorrow, South Korea's labor ministry will start accepting applications for its 'rapid aid' program for workers on unpaid leave due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The program aims to help some 320-thousand workers by giving them around 400 U.S. dollars a month per person for up to three months.
Companies apply for the program, and then their employees get the payments directly.
Companies not subscribed to employment insurance, however, cannot apply.
There are additional subsidies in the works at the labor ministry as well, the details of which are expected at some future date.
