Recruiting 'Outstanding Employment Companies' to Protect Jobs in Gyeongnam

Companies Contributing to Job Creation and Employment Stability

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 7th that it will select Gyeongnam's 'Outstanding Employment Companies' that have contributed to regional employment stability despite the difficult employment environment caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The 'Outstanding Employment Company Certification System' is a project that selects companies that have significantly increased jobs and led employment stability.

Eligibility for application includes companies in the 'manufacturing, manufacturing-related service, and knowledge-based service sectors' that have had their headquarters or main factories operating normally in the province for more than three years as of the announcement date.

For the 'Outstanding Job Creation Company' category, companies with an employment growth rate of 5% or more in the past year can apply. For companies with fewer than 50 regular employees, an increase of at least 3 employees is required, and for companies with 50 or more employees, an increase of at least 5 employees is required.

For the 'Outstanding Employment Stability Company' category, companies with 50 or more regular employees that have converted non-regular workers to regular workers or maintained employment are eligible.

Companies selected as 'Outstanding Employment Companies' will receive a certificate and a plaque, 15 million KRW for workplace environment improvement such as workspaces or employee lounges, and up to 25 million KRW in employment incentives over the next three years.

Additionally, a total of 15 various incentives will be provided, including a three-year exemption from local tax audits and preferential interest rate support (0.5%) for small and medium enterprise development funds.

This year, participation performance in Gyeongnam-do's job-related projects will be reflected in the evaluation criteria.

Companies selected as support targets for 'win-win regional jobs' that create investment and employment through cooperative relationships between local residents and companies, such as the 'Gyeongnam Miryang Win-win Regional Job Project,' will also receive incentives based on their hiring performance.

In particular, companies contributing to the revitalization of the local economy through corporate Zero Pay subscription and those striving to realize social values through social contribution activities and contributions to provincial administration will receive additional points.

The province plans to select Gyeongnam Outstanding Employment Companies around June after document screening and on-site inspections based on certification evaluation criteria, followed by a final review by the deliberation committee, and hold a certificate awarding ceremony in July.

Companies wishing to apply can fill out the application form posted on the Gyeongnam provincial website notice board and submit it in person or by mail to the Provincial Government Job Economy Division from the 19th to May 6th.

For more details, refer to the Gyeongnam provincial website or contact the Job Economy Division of the province.
