Have employment insurance, will ride

 
 Delivery motorcycles parked at the Dongdaemun Shopping Complex, eastern Seoul, on Tuesday. According to the Ministry of Employment and Labor on Tuesday, quick-delivery-service bikers and designated drivers will be allowed to subscribe for employment insurance starting 2022. Companies running the ordering apps will be considered employers and pay half the 1.4-percent-of-income premium, while the bikers will pay the other half. It is part of the government's policy of getting all working people under employment insurance. These workers have been denied employment insurance as they are considered private contractors.
