Disabled Standard Workplace Certification Application

Procedure

Procedure

1. 01

   Calculate the required headcount: Check that there are at least 10 employees with disabilities and that they make up at least 30% of regular employees. Persons with severe disabilities must number at least 15% of regular employees for fewer than 100 employees, 10% plus 5 for 100 to fewer than 300, and 5% plus 20 for 300 or more, with fractions discarded.

2. 02

   Check facility and wage standards: Confirm that accessibility facilities required under the Act on Guarantee of Convenience Promotion are actually installed, and compare the payroll to confirm that every employee with a disability is paid at least the minimum wage. Vocational rehabilitation facilities are excluded from certification.

3. 03

   Review the subsidiary-type ownership structure: If a company with a disability employment obligation owns more than 50% of the total issued shares or total capital contribution, the employees with disabilities are counted toward the parent company, with persons with disabilities who are neither women nor severely disabled counted as one half. A parent company that wishes to support the workplace must publish the support targets and methods in advance, for example on its website.

4. 04

   Decide whether to apply for establishment support: To receive a grant for facility investment, the application form and investment plan are submitted to KEAD before certification, followed by selection and an agreement. A grant carries an obligation to retain newly hired employees with disabilities for a set period, so it is reviewed together with the hiring plan.

5. 05

   Prepare and submit the certification application: Attach copies of documents proving disability or severe disability and a copy of the payroll paid to employees with disabilities in the month before the application month, and submit to KEAD. KEAD checks the corporate registration certificate and business registration through shared administrative information.

6. 06

   Post-certification changes and management: If the business name, representative or location changes, or the certificate is lost, submit a reissuance application with supporting evidence to KEAD. Because certification may be revoked if headcount falls below the standard, recalculate it whenever employees leave or are hired.

Because the standard is assessed on the payroll for the month before the application, if an employee with a disability leaves just before applying and the workplace falls below 10 persons or the required number of persons with severe disabilities, certification cannot be granted.
