Lawmaker Pushes for Heavier Fines on Companies Ignoring Disability Hiring Quotas

Representative Kang Hoon-sik is calling for a crackdown on companies that repeatedly ignore mandatory hiring quotas for people with disabilities. He suggests hiking the financial levies for these habitual offenders to ensure they cannot simply pay their way out of social obligations. This move aims to shift corporate behavior from passive penalty-paying to active recruitment. The proposal signals a tougher legislative stance on workplace inclusivity and corporate accountability.
