FocalTech has maintained stable labor-management relations with no disputes in recent years.
As required by labor laws and regulations, in the event of major operational changes that impact employee rights, FocalTech complies with the labor laws by providing advance notice and clear explanations to employees. For employees whose labor rights are affected or job conditions are changed, FocalTech complies with both the Labor Standards Act and the Act for Worker Protection of Mass Redundancy by providing prior notice before terminating a labor contract.
