Sickness Cash Benefit(SCB) is as an integral part of the public health care system in many countries, which are paid when short-time illnesses prevent work. So workers treat disease without the burden of income loss during the incapacity for work and return to work well. This leads to a virtuous cycle of economic growth. In Korea, Workers’ Presenteeism with COVID-19 pandemic became controversial issue as a blind spot of social security. Consequently, Korea government announced the implementation of the main project of SCB in 2025 starting with a three year pilot project from July 2022 and has sought the direction of scheme with stakeholders. In this study, we focus on the design of benefit type and amount for Korea SCB system. We classified the benefit types among OECD countries and compared the cases of co untries with priorities by type, and analyzed data from NHIS to show the income level of all workers in Korea. In conclusion, we suggest a type of benefit and amount of benefit for operating Korea SCB system combined by the methods of the income related and flat or fixed benefit expense. Also we present a short-term and mid-to long-term model of benefits for policy decision to construct SCB scheduled in Korea.
