[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education (Superintendent Lim Jong-sik) announced on the 10th that starting from the 14th, it will operate a 'School Facility Construction Wage Arrears Reporting Center' at the headquarters and 23 education support offices where workers can directly report wage arrears.

The applicable criteria are construction projects with a facility construction cost of 50 million KRW or more and a project duration exceeding 30 days.

In connection with the National Sinmungo, a reporting menu will be opened on the office's own website, and a reporting center signboard will be posted at the entrance of the contract department. In case of wage arrears, through the establishment of this reporting center, workers will be able to apply online via the website, by phone, or on-site at the education office or school according to their circumstances.

Joo Kyung-young, Director of the Financial Information Division, stated, "To promote the reporting center, we will operate an intensive promotion period for one month and work in connection with subcontractor guardians to ensure it serves as a practical channel to resolve wage arrears issues for companies."
