It can be resolved through civil procedures such as provisional seizure of the user's property or filing a civil lawsuit.
Provisional seizure of user’s property
- "Provisional seizure"is a system that prevents the debtor from disposing of the debtor's property by seizing the debtor's property in advance for the purpose of preserving the execution of monetary claims or claims convertible into money in the future. (source: supreme court electronic civil complaint center - Procedure guide - Application – provisional seizure)
- It is important to identify the business owner's property in advance and seize it for provisional seizure, as it is necessary to have the business owner's property to receive unpaid wages through compulsory execution. (source: Refer to the website of the Ministry of Employment and Labor's place for civil complaints - complaint information - complaint system guide - how to resolve unpaid wages)
Small claims trial
- "Small claims trial" refers to a system in which, among civil cases, where the ‘value for litigation’ is less than 30 million won, it is easier to file a lawsuit and conduct a lawsuit than other civil cases. (Refer to Article 2(1), 「Small Claims Trial Act」 and Article 1-2, 「Rule on Trial of Small Claims」)
- Therefore, if the unpaid wages are less than 30 million won, the lawsuit can be carried out more conveniently through the small claims trial procedure.
