A new law aimed at preventing '''harassment'''<ref>harassment: 괴롭힘</ref> in the workplace '''took effect'''<ref>take effect: 시행하다</ref> in South Korea on Tuesday, bringing the '''widespread'''<ref>widespread: 만연</ref> but '''overlooked'''<ref>overlook: 간과</ref> issue of bullying at work into the legal domain. A revised law on labor standards, commonly called the workplace anti-bullying law, went into effect after a six-month '''grace period'''<ref>grace period: 유예 기간</ref>.
Under the new law, workplace harassment is defined as an act of '''incurring'''<ref>incur: 초래하다</ref> physical or mental suffering or worsening of the work environment by employers or workers using their status or power to behave beyond the scope of working norms. If workplace harassment is reported, employers should immediately investigate it and '''take proper action'''<ref>take action: 조치를 취하다</ref>, such as preventing victims from working with '''perpetrators'''<ref>prepetrator: 가해자</ref> in the same place.
If '''retaliatory'''<ref>retaliatory: 보복</ref> or '''discriminatory'''<ref>discriminatory: 차별</ref> measures are taken against victims or against those who reported abusive conducts, employers could face a maximum three-year jail term and a fine of up to 30 million won, about $25,400. But the law does not '''stipulate'''<ref>stipluate: 규정하다</ref> the punishment for a perpetrator.
