한국의 취업난을 뚫고 당당히 사회생활을 시작하게 되었는데, 축하는 커녕 정규직이 아닌 계약직으로 입사하게 된 점을 우려하시는 분들이 주위에 간혹 있네요. 왜 그런지 그 이유가 궁금하시다구요?
정규직과 비정규직의 차이점과, 그 사이에 존재하는 괴리감, 그리고 그로 인해 발생하는 계약직 근로자의 애환을 살펴보도록 합시다.
정규직은 고용기간이 종료되는 시점을 미리 정하지 않고 전일제로 일하며 고용주와 근로자가 직접 고용계약을 맺는 근로형태를 의미합니다.
그 외의 근로형태는 비정규직으로 칭하며, 크게 한시적근로자, 시간제근로자, 비전형근로자가 있습니다.
그 중 근래에 들어 더욱 핫이슈로 대두되고 있는 것은 한시적 근로자에 속하는 계약직인데, 근로계약기간을 사전에 정한 기간제 근로자를 뜻합니다.
계약직은 정규직과 같은 양의 노동을 하지만 동등한 대우를 받지 못하는 비정규직의 대표적인 형태로서,
정규직보다 현저히 낮은 급여를 받거나, 정규직과 동등한 복지혜택을 받지 못하는 등의 차이를 경험합니다.
또한 계약직은 앞으로 ‘몇년이고 함께할 사람’이 아니라, ‘몇년 만 있다 갈 사람’이라는 인식 때문에 사내에서 알게 모르게 차별을 당하기도 합니다.
그에 더해 2년동안의 계약기간 만료이후 정규직 전환, 계약 연장, 혹은 실직의 기로에 서게될 스스로를 걱정하지 않을 수 없는 상황에 놓이게 됩니다.
실례로 ‘계약직의 애환’하면 윤태호 작가의 작품 “미생”의 주인공 장그래를 언급하지 않을 수 없는데,
정규직으로 입사한 동기들이 인사고과와 승진으로 한창 고민하고 있을 때, 장그래씨는 정규직 전환에 애태우고 결국 계약직이라는 벽에 좌절하고 마는 일련의 과정을 겪게됩니다.
많은 독자로부터 공감을 얻은 이 작품은 한국 계약직 근로자들이 경험하는 낮은 고용안전성의 불안감, 그리고 서러움을 너무나도 잘 꼬집어 전달해주었습니다.

You've successfully found a job and started your corporate life, but some of the people around you are concerned that you are a temporary worker, not a permanent one. What are they worried about?
Let us find out the differences between a permanent position and contract jobs, the gap in between, and the struggles of contract workers.
Permanent employees, or regular employees, have direct work contracts with the employer and work full-time without specifying the end of their employment.
Any forms of employment other than that are called irregular employees and can be classified as temporary, part-time, and non-standard employees.
Recently, "temporary contract workers," or those whose period of employment has already been pre-determined on contract, have become a hot issue.
Contract employment is a typical form of irregular employment, where contract workers do not receive the same treatment as regular employees, although they burden the same workload.
They also receive a significantly lower salary than standard employees, and they do not receive the same welfare benefits as standard employees.
In addition, contract workers are viewed as "those who will be leaving one day," rather than "those who will work long term," so they experience subtle discriminations as well.
Furthermore, they cannot help but worry about their future after their two-year contract is over, as they have no idea whether they will be accepted as a standard employee, have their contract extended, or will have to leave the office.
Speaking of the heartache of contract workers, we must discuss cartoonist Tae-ho Yoon's his cartoon "Misaeng."
The main character, Geurae Jang, is a contract worker who must struggle to become a regular worker only to eventually fail, while his colleagues with standard contracts focus mainly on getting promoted by receiving good grades on their personnel evaluations.
This cartoon's spot-on portrayal of the anxieties and sorrows that contract workers experience due to the instability of their employment won the sympathy of many readers.
