I got fired out of nowhere (I want to fight it as unfair dismissal)

부당해고 등 구제신청

Workers at workplaces with 5 or more regular employees who were dismissed or disciplined without a proper reason

An agent cannot do this one for you. You have to go to the office below yourself.Regional Labor Relations Commission (지방노동위원회)
🔴 If you do not file within 3 months of the day the dismissal happened, your case is thrown out and there is no way back. Only certified labor attorneys and lawyers may represent cases at the Labor Relations Commission, so an administrative scrivener cannot do it for you.
