ANNUAL REPORT 2015 with supplementary measures to protect employment stability and labor rights for all workers, including non-regular workers. More specifically, the Commission suggested that the Minister: 1. ‌review the policy to extend the period of employment for temporary and dispatched workers. Since it would attract more employers to replace their regular employees with temporary counterparts, the Commission expressed its opinion that the Minister should come up with measures to improve the said policy, considering the fact that there is not enough policy support to prevent abuse, and to induce employers to turn their temporary employees into regular ones after extending the period; 2. ‌review the policy to expand the scope of tasks for dispatched workers and extend their employment period. The Commission believed that the policy could lead to an increase in the number of dispatched workers who suffer from harsh working conditions, worsening the disparity in the labor market. In addition, the Commission expressed its opinion to the Minister that he should come up with measures to improve the said policy, considering that there are not enough policy measures to ensure decent working conditions and equal treatment for dispatched workers; 3. ‌review the policy to exclude benefits from prime contractors for subcontractor workers from proof of illegal dispatch, since it may blur the line between legal contracting and illegal dispatch. In addition, the Commission expressed its opinion that the Minister should come up with measures to improve the said policy by specifying the legal standards to distinguish one from the other; and 4. ‌carefully review the revisions made in the guidelines on general standards and procedures to fire an employee and the standards for amending the rules of employment, since these may be abused as tools for easy firing and the deterioration of working conditions. E. ‌Expression of opinion on the proposal of the 4th National Report on the UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Regarding the proposal of the 4th National Report on the UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), the Commission expressed its opinion on May 26th to the Minister of Justice on: 1. the lack of description on difficulties and obstacles to fulfill the ICESCR; 2. ‌the lack of information on the expected results and effects of related legislation and policies 30 | National Human Rights Commission of Korea
