This study discusses legal positions of foreign workers. For this purpose, it first inspects closely the Immigration Control Act which provides for entry into and departure from the country and sojourn of foreigners and Foreign Workers Employment Act which prescribes in detail from employment of foreign workers to management of foreign workers. It examines the problems of them. It presents the improved plans for them. In order to protect the jobs of the locals, restriction of employment of foreigners and limitations on period for their employment activities are needed. The deportation system for the foreign workers who do something illegal is needed for the public good. However, Korean employers inevitably have to accept that foreign workers flow into the country, because Korean job seekers tend to avoid 3D(Dangerous, Dirty, Difficult) jobs. Therefore Occupational Safety and Health Regulations should apply to the foreign workers who legally enter the country by the Employment Permit System, equal to home workers. They should obligatorily join casualty insurance which covers industrial accidents and National Health Insurance so that they can lead a steady life. Departure Guarantee Insurance and Trust which pays retirement grants to foreign workers when they leave the country, Return Cost Insurance and Trust which meets the necessary expenses when they enter the country, Guarantee Insurance which prepares for the cases that their wages are in arrears and so on, need to be more enhanced.
