[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 19th that it will promote the Jeonnam-type 4050 Hope Job Incentive Support Project to support employment for early retirees and retirees in their 40s and 50s within the jurisdiction.

The eligible applicants are middle-aged individuals aged 40 to 59 whose registered address is Haenam as of the employment participation application date.

When middle-aged individuals are employed as regular workers at small and medium-sized enterprises with 5 to fewer than 300 employees, agricultural cooperatives, fishery cooperatives, agricultural corporations, or fishery corporations located within the jurisdiction, the company will receive a monthly employment retention subsidy of 500,000 KRW for 10 months.

Additionally, middle-aged employees will receive an employment incentive of 300,000 KRW per month for 10 months, in addition to their salary.

A regular employment contract generally means an indefinite contract without a fixed term or a contract with a fixed term of at least two years. A probation period of up to three months from the start date of work can be set, after which the employee can be converted to regular employment.

This year, four companies applied to participate in the Jeonnam-type 4050 Hope Job Incentive Support Project: Sarangui Jip, Sarangui Jip Day and Night Care Center, Changmun Nara Co., Ltd., and Ilgang Remicon Co., Ltd. They plan to hire a total of seven people, including care workers, production workers, office workers, and large vehicle drivers.

Participants in the project can submit their applications by visiting the Population Policy Division Job Creation Team at Haenam County Office in person or by email by the 26th. Detailed information can be found in the Haenam County Job Support Center online platform under the Job Search Haenam County Recruitment Announcements section.

A county official requested participation, saying, “We hope that the Jeonnam-type 4050 Hope Job Incentive Support will help middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s find reemployment and alleviate the manpower shortage of small and medium-sized enterprises.”
