[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gyeonggi Province has finalized its plan to improve rest facilities for on-site workers this year and is set to begin full-scale project implementation.

On the 10th, Gyeonggi Province stated, "'The On-site Worker Rest Facility Improvement Project' guarantees rest rights for workers and is a win-win project that can enhance labor productivity for employers."

This year, the project approach will shift from 'direct provincial implementation' to 'city/county subsidized projects (50% provincial funds, 50% city/county funds)'.

The provincial budget will increase from 400 million KRW last year to 1 billion KRW this year (500 million KRW provincial funds, 500 million KRW city/county funds), and the number of target sites will expand from 23 last year to 72 this year.

Priority support will be given to social welfare facilities and small and medium-sized enterprises in poor conditions, as well as nursing hospitals in 19 cities/counties including Uijeongbu and Bucheon, where factories are densely located.

Up to 20 million KRW per site will be provided for costs needed to improve rest facilities, and up to 30 million KRW for new rest facility installations.

Additionally, if 2 to 3 workplaces jointly install rest facilities, they can receive up to 40 million KRW in support.

Project applications will be conducted by each city/county between March and May.
