What the document holds
PIWPA Enforcement Decree as amended by Presidential Decree 28849 (in force 1 May 2018), full consolidated text, addenda, reason statement. Programme content: reward cap raised from KRW 2 billion to 3 billion (art. 22(2), for reports made from 1 May 2018, addendum art. 2), six-monthly checks for two years after protection decisions, relief may be paid before the committee decides (art. 27). Schedule unchanged (20%-4%), minimum KRW 200,000 and award cap KRW 200 million restated (recorded from the 2016 version). Already in the data: the KRW 3 billion cap and its event. Nothing new to add. 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. Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
