Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the necessity and activation plan of trial work to increase the re-employment of injured industrial workers. This study applied an internet and paper questionnaire method to 1,058 employers listed in the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Services. The employers were asked about their experiences with trial work and their preferences for supports. From September 2018, the survey was conducted for 6 weeks and a total of 201 questionnaires were analyzed. Descriptive analysis and t-tests were applied. The results of the study showed that the trial work system satisfied the employers who participated in it. In order for this system to operate smoothly for injured workers, it is necessary to simplify the system's procedures, increase the amount of the trial work subsidy, and improve the amount of support after the workers convert to full time employment. In order for employers to use the new system, $750 per month will be provided for 8 months when hiring one injured worker. Eighty percent of employers stated that they would hire injured workers if the subsidy and application period are accepted. Future study and suggestions for applying the trial work system for injured industrial workers are also discussed.
