What is the reason for the change of workplace?

<Example of consultation*>

The workplace we are working now has paid wages late last year. Last year, I paid a few times later, so I and my colleagues protested to my employer. This year, only the basic salary is paid on the monthly salary, and the extended work allowance is later paid later. Recently, the basic salary is also paid late. Can I change the business place?

As the example above, many migrant workers ask if they can change the workplace. In principle, migrant workers are prohibited, but they are allowed in the case of the exceptions set by the law. The number of changes allowed is '3 times for the first three years, twice a year 10 months after re -employment,' which may be included in the number of changes allowed or not.
