■ Am I receiving my money properly?
The total contract amount may seem large, but in reality, it is often a violation of the minimum wage.
Wonzo will calculate it for you.

• Contract Minimum Wage Diagnosis – Check actual hourly wage excluding fixed overtime allowance
• Wage and arrears self-diagnosis – Comparison of legal salary and actual amount received
• Severance pay diagnosis - If the departure maturity insurance is less than the legal severance pay, the difference can be claimed
• Confirmation of subscription to the 4 major insurance policies – Check whether the company has enrolled me
• Diagnosis of annual leave and allowances - You can receive money for unused annual leave
• Calculation of actual salary - Actual amount received after deduction of four major insurance and taxes

■ You can receive wages even without a visa
The Labor Standards Act does not respect nationality or residency status.
From November 6, 2025, the “Notification Obligation System Exemption System for Foreigners Affected by Nonpayment of Wages” will be implemented.
Even if you file a complaint for non-payment of wages, the labor inspector may not notify the immigration office.
What you can receive: Overdue wages, severance pay, overtime/night/holiday pay, industrial accident compensation

■ We will write a complaint to the Labor Office on your behalf.
Just fill out the items and we will create a Korean complaint in the official form of the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
