Some construction sites are pulling a shady '11-month trick' to avoid paying severance by making workers take a month off before rehiring them. This has been confirmed at the SK Yongin Semiconductor Cluster and Samsung semiconductor plants, where subcontractors forced workers to resign and re-sign repeatedly.
