The current Act presribes that the employer shall, where an occurrence of sexual harassment on the job has been verified, take approriate measures without delay.

However, employers are not obligated to take measures against the more serious offense of adulterous or indecent acts committed in the workplace based on work-related power, etc.

Accordingly, the Amendment prescribes that where an employer has become aware of any adulterous or indecent act committed in the workplace based on work-related power, etc., he/she shall immediately report the incident to an investigation agency; prohibits employers from dismissing or taking any other disadvantageous measure against a worker who has been victimized or who claims he or she has been victimized, and imposes an administrative fine of up to 3 million won for violations, thereby aiming to strengthen the obligation of employers to take measures against adulterous or indecent acts committed in the workplace (Article 14-3 newly inserted; Article 39, paragraph 3).

Require an employer who has become aware of any adulterous or indecent act committed in the workplace based on work-related power, etc. to promptly report the incident to an investigation agency; and prohibit employers from dismissing or taking any other disadvantageous measure against a worker who has been victimized or who claims he or she has been victimized (Article 14-3).
