In a recent blogpost, Seoul city declared that it has completed constructing the Seoul Job Electronic Labour Contract system. It is the country’s first blockchain technology powered public job electronic labour contract platform. The Seoul Job Electronic Labor Contract System employs the Seoul Pass Certification. Part-time Workers’ Rights Protection Blockchain Platform backs the project. Furthermore, it was amongst the government’s “Leading Public Blockchain Pilot Projects” last year.

Seoul pass certificate as an authentication service

Seoul Pass Certification is an authentication service to apply when a public identity certificate expires. Blockchain technology performs as an authentication technology to stop frauds and modification of certificates. Authentication methods like fingerprints, passwords, and patterns enhance security and convenience.

Moreover, Seoul City’s Seoul Citizen Card application can handle and assign certificates. However, the ‘Part-time Workers’ Rights Protection Blockchain Platform’ allows mobile-based labour contracts and work experience management to advance part-time workers serving career.

Participants of public jobs in Seoul can complete the labour contract by inserting personal data, name, and contact information on the site by their PC or smartphone. In the ‘career management’ list, application users can check all the work experience for which participants have inked a labour contract. Moreover, they can download it as a PDF to publish a career certificate for employment.

Seoul to eliminate issues of handwritten contracts

Yearly estimated public work projects in Seoul city, including New Deal jobs, are around 15,000. Recently, paperwork contracts are handwritten. Moreover, they are accessible only at business sites. Participants in the project have difficulty going through each person in charge of the project to apply for the issuance of a career certificate. This also becomes a concern for exhibiting personal information. However, with the Seoul Job Electronic Labour Contract system, these issues will dissolve. Through this project, part-time workers who had issues in managing their careers can handle their career certificates. It will also defend their labour rights and interests.
