[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Pohang City announced on the 14th that it will prepay activity fees to participants in the senior job program, which has been suspended since last month due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Accordingly, the existing 7,161 participants in the senior job program (based on public interest activity participants) can receive up to 270,000 KRW per person in advance. The prepaid activity fees will be settled through extended activity hours once the COVID-19 situation stabilizes.

The city is also planning to provide Onnuri gift certificates worth about 60,000 KRW per month or 'Pohang Sarang Gift Certificates' as incentives along with wages for four months after the resumption of the senior job program.

Public interest activity participants can choose to receive the existing activity fee (270,000 KRW in cash) or, if they opt to receive part of the activity fee (30%) in gift certificates, they can receive an additional amount equivalent to 22% of the total amount, which is 59,000 KRW worth.
