[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled under the Ministry of Employment and Labor announced on the 2nd that it signed an agreement with Lotte Chilsung Beverage to establish a 'subsidiary-type standard workplace for the disabled.' Lotte Chilsung will establish a subsidiary that meets requirements such as employing more than 10 disabled persons, then employ disabled individuals through the subsidiary and receive reductions in contributions. Those employed are considered as employed by the parent company and are included in the employment rate.



Lotte Chilsung plans to establish the subsidiary-type standard workplace within the first half of the year. Starting with the Gangneung plant as the market, it plans to expand the hiring regions to major plants nationwide. Director Cho said, "We will mobilize all resources and capabilities of the agency to support the successful establishment of the subsidiary-type standard workplace."
