What Is the Korea Freelancer and Platform Worker Rights Calculator?

This calculator estimates rights and remedy routes for Korean freelancers, delivery riders, platform workers, creators, outsourced workers, tutors, and gig workers.

The English calculator reuses the Korean freelancer-rights function. It evaluates contract type, work duration, monthly income, unpaid amounts, unfair termination, accident, medical cost, leave issue, worker-status checklist, social-insurance coverage, legal-aid route, labor-office route, and platform or civil remedy.

Important Note

The label in a contract is not conclusive. A freelancer or platform worker can still have worker-like protection if control, exclusivity, working time, reporting, equipment, substitution, and payment structure show dependence.

Worker-Status Checklist

FactorExamplesWhy it matters
Control and supervisionPlatform ranking, dispatch control, work rules, penalty for refusalSupports worker or dependent-contractor analysis
Economic dependenceMain income source, exclusivity, fixed schedule, repeat workAffects remedy selection and settlement leverage
Payment and toolsHourly or piece rate, platform fee, company equipment, self expensesSeparates business risk from wage-like payment
Substitution and leaveCan someone else perform work, are absences penalizedShows independence or practical subordination

Claims and Remedies

  • Unpaid fee, unilateral termination, platform account suspension, industrial accident, insurance exclusion, and leave denial are handled as separate damage types.
  • The calculator compares labor office, civil lawsuit, dispute mediation, platform objection, FTC-style unfair-contract route, and legal-aid possibility.
  • Accident inputs include medical cost and work relation because industrial accident coverage may be separate from ordinary contract damages.
  • The Korean result is route-oriented: it estimates likely protection and next steps, not just a payment total.

Evidence Package

Collect the contract, platform terms, app screenshots, work assignment logs, penalty notices, messages, settlement statements, tax invoices, bank deposits, accident reports, and medical bills.

If the platform changed ranking, access, or account status, preserve before-and-after screenshots and notices. Platform evidence can disappear quickly after account restriction.

FAQ

Can a freelancer claim unpaid wages?

Possibly, but it depends on worker status and the nature of the unpaid amount. Some claims proceed as labor claims, while others are civil contract claims.

Why does the calculator ask about social insurance?

Insurance status can show how the relationship was treated and may affect industrial accident, unemployment, and administrative remedy routes.

Legal Use Notice

The interactive calculator reuses the same Korean pure calculation function as the Korean page, so the numerical result is aligned with the Korean service.
