[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) will accept applications for the Employment Retention Support Fund, which is provided to unpaid leave workers to help overcome COVID-19, for one month from March 1 to 31.
The Employment Retention Support Fund is a leave allowance paid at 500,000 KRW per person per month, and up to 1,500,000 KRW can be supported for three months of unpaid leave.
The payment targets are workers belonging to companies with fewer than 50 employees in the region who have taken unpaid leave for five or more days per month since November 14 of last year and maintain employment insurance until April 30 of this year. However, workers in non-profit organizations, one-person self-employed individuals, and industries excluded from small business policy fund loans are excluded.
Applications can be made by business owners or unpaid leave workers by preparing the documents according to the Gangnam-gu Office website and submitting them via email (jobcatch@gangnam.go.kr) or by visiting in person.
For in-person applications, from March 2 to 12, applications will be accepted on weekdays at the cafeteria on the basement first floor of the Gangnam-gu Office main building, and from March 15 to 31, at the third small meeting room on the first floor of the main building. Applications will be accepted on weekdays based on a 5-day rotation system according to the last digit of the applicant’s birth year.
