Who is entitled to receive vocational training costs under this provision, and in which case will no payment be made to that institution?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In practice material of this kind, we check the training contract concluded between the Corporation (the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service) and the training institution, records showing that the training for the trainee was actually carried out there, and any papers showing a corresponding cost the institution received under another statute. We also look for the notice of the Minister of Employment and Labor setting the amount, and the dates covering the training period.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading follows the chain of conditions: vocational training for a trainee is to be carried out at a training institution that has concluded a contract with the Corporation, and the cost of that training is paid to the training institution that carried out the training under that arrangement, with the amount limited to actual costs and within the range the Minister of Employment and Labor publicly announces, for a training period not exceeding the limit the provision sets.
Another reading turns on the exception: where the training institution has received a cost corresponding to the vocational training costs under the Act on Promotion of Employment of Persons with Disabilities, the Employment Insurance Act, the National Lifelong Vocational Competency Development Act or other statutes or decrees, in cases determined by Presidential Decree, the cost is not paid, and the provision leaves open how a corresponding cost is measured and which cases the Presidential Decree covers.
Your judgment
Where the training institution received only part of a corresponding cost under another statute, how could the file show whether the exception still bars payment in full?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the Presidential Decree determines new cases for the non-payment exception, if the Minister of Employment and Labor revises the publicly announced amount, or if a document in the file shows the institution holds no contract with the Corporation.
