In June 2020, the Whistleblower Protection Act was amended for the first time in about 6 years since its enforcement. As a result of this amendment, businesses with 15 or more employees are obliged to appoint "public interest reporting business workers" (Article 301, Paragraph 11) and to establish a system for whistleblowing. In addition, the amendment has expanded the protection of whistleblowers and relaxed the requirements for protection, which is expected to have a large impact on future practice.
In this video, I will explain the outline of the revision of the Whistleblower Protection Act and explain what kind of measures will be required for the enforcement in two years.
