비정규직 차별의 한⋅유럽 비교연구: 직무급으로 임금체계 개선 관점에서의 해결책 탐색

The proportion of non-regular employees is constantly increasing and nonstandard work discrimination is currently prevalent in the workplace of Korea. Thegovernment has made an effort to eliminate nonstandard work discrimination bythe Law for Protecting Nonstandard Workers. However, it is difficult to solve allthe problems related to nonstandard workers by merely enforcing laws ormaking well-prepared blue-prints, because they are deeply connected with thewage structure(seniority-based pay structure) in Korea. This paper suggests away to reduce the nonstandard work discrimination from the perspective ofjob-based wage structure by comparing study on Nonstandard Work Prohibitionof Discrimination in Korea-European countries. European countries have tried toeliminate nonstandard work discrimination by introducing by irregular worker’bills based on the principle of equal pay for equal work (job-based pay). InKorea, however, the Law of Nonstandard Work Prohibition of Discrimination hasnot been aligned with wage structure(seniority-based pay), so failed to eliminatenonstandard work discrimination. The job-based pay structure may increaselabor and wage flexibility in labor market, and simultaneously eliminatenonstandard work discrimination in Korea. It’s time to shift from seniority-basedpay to job-based pay structure by introducing industrial collective bargainingand joint effort of labor-management in Korea. The government should make an effort to provide the information of Market Pay Line to the management and unions in order to help setting up new wage structure.
