What Is the Korea Industrial Accident Denial Appeal Deadline Calculator?

This calculator determines the next procedural step and deadline after a Korean industrial accident denial, review decision, or re-examination decision. It applies the 90-day filing period, weekend adjustment, Occupational Disease Judgment Committee exception, and decision-period estimates.

The result helps a worker identify whether to file a review request, re-examination request, or administrative lawsuit, and whether the deadline is still open, imminent, or expired.

Important Note

Appeal deadlines are strict. If the deadline is close, prepare the filing immediately and verify public holidays and court or agency filing method.

Stages

Current position	Next ordinary step
After denial decision	Review request to the Korea Workers Compensation and Welfare Service
After review decision	Re-examination request to the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Re-examination Committee
After re-examination decision	Administrative litigation
After denial with Occupational Disease Judgment Committee review	Review can be skipped and re-examination can be filed directly

Deadline and Decision Timing

The appeal period is modeled as 90 days from the notice date.
If the calculated last day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the Korean model moves the deadline to the next weekday.
For review or re-examination stages with a decision period, the calculator estimates 60 days and a maximum of 80 days when extension is used.
Administrative litigation is tied to Administrative Litigation Act Article 20 timing, so court strategy should be reviewed separately.

Practical Evidence Focus

For work accidents, focus on accident report, CCTV, witness statements, and work instruction records.
For occupational disease, focus on exposure history, job description, medical causation, workplace measurement, and comparative worker records.
For commute accidents, focus on route, time, purpose, and absence of personal deviation.

FAQ

Can I go straight to administrative litigation?

Korean industrial accident appeals use an optional prior procedure structure in many cases. The calculator shows the administrative route, but direct litigation should be reviewed with the facts and deadline.

What if the deadline has already passed?

An expired deadline is difficult. Exceptional justifiable reasons, new application strategy, or direct litigation issues require professional review.
