[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yong-chul] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 8th that it will provide living expenses to unpaid leave workers who cannot work due to COVID-19, special-type workers, freelancers, and others.

Applications can be made by visiting the nearest eup/myeon office, and the business participation requirement is a business that has implemented unpaid leave for 5 or more business days since the national infectious disease crisis alert was raised to the 'serious' level on February 23.

The target beneficiaries are unpaid leave workers enrolled in employment insurance at businesses with fewer than 100 employees whose operations have been fully or partially suspended. Support is provided based on 25,000 KRW per person per day (8 hours of prescribed working hours), up to 20 days per month, with a maximum of 500,000 KRW per month and up to 1,000,000 KRW for a maximum of 2 months.

This COVID-19 regional employment response special support project is a national government-funded project promoted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, divided into two categories according to the support target, providing living expenses to special-type workers, freelancers, and unpaid leave workers.

County Governor Kim Cheol-woo said, "I hope this project will help unemployed people who are struggling with their livelihoods," and added, "We plan to explore all possible measures to promote regional economic revitalization to overcome COVID-19."
