What Is the Korea Whistleblower Protection and Reward Calculator?

This calculator estimates reward, commendation, relief fund, retaliation remedy, litigation cost, and deadline guidance for Korean public-interest, corruption, and capital-market whistleblower reports.

The English calculator reuses the Korean whistleblower protection function. It preserves report type, violation category, report channel, report date, recovered public amount, contribution level, retaliation type, salary loss, retaliation duration, medical expense, relocation cost, income loss, mental treatment cost, and identity exposure risk.

Important Note

Whistleblower cases can create identity and retaliation risk. Before reporting, preserve evidence securely and choose a channel that preserves legal protection and confidentiality.

Compensation and Remedy Tracks

Track	Inputs	Output
Reward	Recovered or increased public funds and contribution level	Reward brackets and total reward estimate
Commendation payment	Contribution level and public value	Separate commendation estimate
Relief fund	Medical, relocation, income-loss, and mental treatment expenses	Relief fund itemization
Retaliation remedy	Dismissal, discipline, salary reduction, transfer, bullying, contract termination, audit retaliation	Unpaid wages, consolation range, litigation cost, and ACRC remedy cost

Deadlines and Channels

The Korean model calculates reward deadline from report date where possible.
Retaliation remedy deadlines include a 3-month and 1-year reference in the result fields.
ACRC filing is modeled as free, while litigation cost includes stamp fee, delivery fee, and lawyer fee range.
Capital market whistleblower reports are treated separately because special reward rules can apply.

Protection Planning

Use original documents, metadata, transaction records, emails, internal approvals, and witness chronology. Do not alter source files when preparing the report package.

If retaliation has started, record date, decision-maker, stated reason, payroll loss, medical records, workplace messages, and comparator treatment before applying for protective measures.

FAQ

Does internal reporting always receive the same protection?

Not always. Protection can depend on report type, channel, good-faith basis, and whether the report fits a protected category.

Why does recovered public amount matter?

Reward calculation is tied to recovered or increased public value, while retaliation remedy is calculated separately from reward.
