What the document holds
PIWPA Enforcement Decree as amended by Presidential Decree 26934 (in force 25 Jan 2016), full consolidated text with addenda 2011-2016 and reason statement. Programme content: annex 1 of covered laws deleted (moved to the Act), internal whistleblowers defined (art. 3-2) and rewards limited to them, cap raised to KRW 2 billion (art. 22(2), reports from 25 Jan 2016), no reward of KRW 200,000 or less (art. 22(3), amended 2 Sep 2014), monetary awards (포상금) created with a KRW 200 million cap (arts. 25-2, 25-3), relief may be cut on the reward grounds (art. 26(4), 2014), non-compliance charges (out of scope). Already in the data: cap KRW 2 billion and the internal-whistleblower event. Added: minimum reward 2014-2023, award cap KRW 200 million, events for 2014-09-02 and the 2016 awards. Out of scope throughout: the commission's organisation and complaint handling, protection procedures and their deadlines (60-day protection decisions, 7-day objections, etc.), penalty schedules (fines for negligence 과태료, non-compliance charges 이행강제금, surcharges on fraudsters 제재부가금), employment limits and citizen audit requests. Intermediate bands of the reward schedules are not separate rows (only top and bottom rates, as earlier passes did); the 1,000-won rounding rule is not recorded.
