•    E-9 workers may change workplaces up to 3 times in the first 3 years and 2 times during the 1-year-10-month re-employment period, when a legal reason applies.

•    Unfair treatment by an employer can be a valid reason to change workplaces, so first collect evidence (payslips, messages, photos, recordings).

•    The government is also working to make workplace changes easier for workers facing mistreatment or dangerous conditions.

•    Call the Foreign Workforce Counseling Center (1577-0071) or the Immigration Contact Center (1345). Multilingual counseling is available.
