That is not something the company decides.
Industrial accident insurance is a system where injured workers apply directly to the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service.
No company consent or seal is required.
If your workplace is covered by industrial accident insurance, you can proceed with compensation procedures even if the company has not registered your enrollment.
For places like small private farming and fisheries that are excluded, ask your disaster insurance at 1588-0075.
The business owner verification system was discontinued on January 1, 2018.
