| Private School Faculty & Staff (Official Establishment, Paid, Full-Time) |
Employed by private schools at all levels as formal establishment, full-time, paid teachers, staff members, and researchers. |
Government Employees’ and School Staff Insurance (GESSI / Public Employees’ Insurance): Compulsory participation, entitled to old-age, disability, and death benefits under the public insurance system. *(Note: Non-establishment or non-GESSI eligible private school personnel participate in Labor Insurance according to regulations)* |
Employment Insurance (EI): Employment insurance terms not covered by the public insurance system may have separate regulations if personnel fall under the Labor Standards Act or related provisions. Occupational Accident Insurance (OAI): Legally entitled to relevant occupational accident protection and security. |

However, schools must still fulfill statutory employer obligations regarding labor rights and occupational safety maintenance.
