연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Recently, many countries are enacting the law of labor contract in order to establish or regulate a new order in labor contracts resulted from the diversified forms of labor, and the reduced importance of labor unions. The need for the law of labor contract is increasingly debated in Korea as well, with propositions at varying levels, such as securing national competitiveness in preparation of globalization, or establishing unified laws to systemically regulate labor relationship. All these propositions agree that the need of a capable and well suited new law that reflects the shifts in labor law paradigm and labor market mechanism is self-evident. Furthermore, there has been an increase of incentives and merit-based payment system, as well as employment of contingent staffs in recent years because of businesses adjusting hiring and personnel management strategies to cope with shifting business environment. As personnel management strategies becoming more individualized and diversified, laborers started to prefer self-regulating work in which they can realize creativity and professionalism with a higher level of motivation to do so. This change allowed employees to negotiate working conditions with the employers on equal ground in reality, making compromising any disputes between employees and employers in a swift and proper way more important. Doing so calls for an equitable and transparent rule as a basis of reference. On the other hand, there is a concern that the purpose of the law of labor contract being misinterpreted as ‘breaking away from law protecting employees’, and used as a base to lessen the protection or apply more responsibilities of fidelity on employees. However, it is an undeniable fact that the definition of employment is changing and there are employees who can stand on equal terms with the employers armed with personal ability and professional knowledge owing to the diversification of employee-subordination levels. Even so, such employees are a rarity, and can’t be considered as a major cause in diluting the protective property of the Labor Law, not to mention of its necessity in the future. Furthermore, it would be impossible to abolish or revise the Labor Standard Act otherwise while protecting employees and maintaining the constitutional living rights to a minimum standard. Therefore, separating the Labor Standard Act from the Labor Law would be preferable to reorganizing the Labor Standard Act into the Labor Law. Meanwhile, it is necessary to define the contracting parties and the nature of contracts if the law of labor contract is enacted. The Labor Law uses old terminologies to define the contracting parties - the employee, who provides a subordinate form of labor, and the employer, the consumer of such provided labor. But this traditional definition alone isn’t enough to identify who are the employee and employer these days. Identifying the employer of a contract is becoming difficult in an increasing number of cases, in which a complex relationship of involved business entities exists. Therefore, it is questionable if one should apply the traditional subordination based terminologies to the law of labor contract unmodified. Considering the purpose of the enactment of the law of labor contract is to clarify the right-responsibility relationship of contracting parties, preventing unnecessary disputes stemmed from diverse forms of employment, there wouldn’t be a need to narrowly define contracting parties. This is so because establishing a clear rule to quickly respond to future changes in labor environment is the legislative task at hand.
