The Gwangju Employers Federation announced on the 13th that it conducted a training session on "Corporate Response to the 2025 Labor Inspection and Expansion of Ordinary Wages" for 54 participants from both member and non-member companies.

This training, held in the afternoon in the medium conference room on the second floor of the Kimdaejung Convention Center, was organized in response to concerns about potential confusion and labor-management conflict at industrial sites. The session provided information on the direction of labor inspection for 2025 and recent issues related to ordinary wages, and established response strategies to help member companies build a stable management environment and strengthen their competitiveness.

The first lecture was delivered by Ryu Gwanhun, Head of the Labor-Management Cooperation Support Division at the Gwangju Employment and Labor Office, who addressed the direction of labor inspection by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in 2025, including plans for workplace labor inspections and key areas of focus. In the second lecture, Lee Jeongwoo, an attorney from Yulchon LLC, discussed the Supreme Court's ruling on ordinary wages from December of last year and related response strategies. The session covered the revision of compensation regulations such as regular bonuses, performance-based pay, and other allowances, trends in the legislation of ordinary wages, and the impact on companies as well as response strategies.

Yang Jinseok, Chairman of the Gwangju Employers Federation, emphasized, "The Ministry of Employment and Labor is expected to carry out comprehensive and intensive workplace labor inspections in the first half of the year, so it is time for each workplace to thoroughly prepare and get ready for these inspections." He added, "Through this training, including the expansion of ordinary wages, we will share labor inspection standards, actual inspection cases, and management measures, so that our workplaces can become safe and free from risk factors."
