Gwangju City Hall

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 10th that it will conduct a special inspection to prevent delayed payments such as construction fees ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

The inspection targets 10 construction sites with contracts over 1 billion won directly ordered by the city, and an internal inspection team will be formed to carry out the checks.

The main inspection items include whether wages for construction workers, subcontract payments, and construction machinery rental fees are paid, as well as the validity of labor contracts and construction machinery lease agreements.

Additionally, the city, district offices, and urban corporations operate an "Illegal Subcontracting and Wage Arrears Reporting Center."

They plan to prevent and resolve wage arrears by receiving and handling complaints, and encourage each ordering agency to ensure early payment of construction fees.

Heo Ik-bae, Director of the Transportation and Construction Bureau of the city, said, "Ahead of the Lunar New Year, we will focus on preventive activities such as thoroughly managing construction sites to ensure that wages for workers, subcontract payments, and construction machinery rental fees for public construction projects are not delayed."
