1. Reason for Proposal 

To allow workers in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and middle-market companies who need career transition support to receive re-employment support services, the mandatory business scope for re-employment support services will be expanded in phases (from 1,000 or more employees → 500 → 300). Furthermore, to ensure effective re-employment support, the method of fulfilling the re-employment support service obligation is improved so that employers can provide accommodations when workers choose to engage in their desired re-employment activities in addition to the re-employment services provided by the employer.
