Step 3 of 6
File a complaint with the labour office
Do this now
- 1Call 1350 and ask for an interpreter
- 2File the complaint online or in person
- 3Make sure you get the case number
What to prepare
- ID (passport or residence card)
- All the evidence you gathered
- Company name, address, employer's contact
- Your bank account number
- Request an interpreter in advance if needed
Filing is free. There is no reason to pay a broker a fee.
Where to file
- By phone: 1350 (Ministry of Employment and Labour). You can request an interpreter.
- Online: the ministry's petition portal minwon.moel.go.kr — file under unpaid wages.
- In person: the regional labour office covering the company's address, not your home.
- Accompaniment: ask a local migrant workers' support centre or 1577-0071 to come with you.
What to write
- Your name, contact details, nationality
- Company name, address, employer's name
- The period you worked (from ___ to ___)
- What work you did
- The wages owed — it need not be exact. "Unpaid since the month of ___" is enough.
- What you have already demanded (dates you sent messages)
Asking for interpretation
- Call 1345 and they can join the call as an interpreter.
- Tell the labour office in advance that you need an interpreter and one can be assigned.
- You can also go with a support centre caseworker.
There is a time limit
The right to claim wages expires after a certain period, and it becomes hard to claim once too long has passed. Check the exact limit with 1350 and file without delay.

Anyone asking for money to "file it for you" is a broker. Filing is free and you can do it yourself.
