[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 7th that it is recruiting target companies for the ‘2022 Gimhae Excellent Job Creation Company Certification’ until the 21st.

The Excellent Job Creation Company Certification is a project that evaluates companies that have made efforts to create jobs and stabilize labor within the region, providing support for labor environment improvement projects and various incentives. Since its first implementation in 2019, a total of 27 companies have been selected up to last year.

The eligible applicants are small and medium-sized enterprises with 10 or more regular employees located in the region (headquarters or main factory) as of February 1, 2020. They must have increased the number of employees by 3 or more in the past year and meet an employment growth rate of 5% or higher.

Selected companies will receive benefits such as a 2-year ‘Excellent Job Creation Company’ certification and plaque, up to 10 million KRW support for labor environment improvement, a 3-year deferral of local tax audits, and support policies for excellent SMEs.

The selection process includes a first document review, a second on-site inspection, and a review by the evaluation committee, with the final certified companies planned to be selected by the end of May. Evaluation criteria include job growth and stability, as well as soundness of corporate management.

A Gimhae City official said, “We appreciate the local companies that strive to create jobs and improve workers’ welfare despite difficult economic conditions,” and added, “We will support the efforts of companies through the Excellent Job Creation Company Certification project to be of some help.”
