Can I get compensation from the employer if I voluntarily quit after January 1, 2008?

Not necessarily, note:

If the employee voluntarily resigns, the employer may not pay severance payment. However, this provision cannot be applied uniformly, because if the employer breaches the contract and the employee is forced to resign, the employer is not only not exempted from the obligation to pay severance payments, but also has the obligation to compensate accordingly.
