Goheung-gun Launches Special Inspection on Construction Payment Delays Ahead of Chuseok

Preventing and Eradicating Unfair Practices at Local Construction Sites? Promoting Smooth Payment Before the Holiday

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gong Young-min) announced that it will conduct a special inspection on large construction sites within the jurisdiction from the 29th of this month to the 8th of next month to check the construction status and the payment or delay of various construction fees ahead of Chuseok.

This special inspection will be conducted by supervisory officials visiting the sites, interviewing related personnel, and investigating on-site documents. It will identify various delayed payments related to construction work, such as ▲wage arrears of construction workers ▲execution status of subcontracting, meal expenses, and material payments ▲payment status of construction equipment fees, and plans to resolve all delayed payments before Chuseok.

Along with the special inspection, the county plans to encourage local small and medium-sized enterprises, which have been struggling due to recent raw material price increases, to participate more actively in subcontracting, material supply, and equipment rental at construction sites within the jurisdiction.

Depending on the severity of violations found during this inspection, administrative measures such as on-site corrections, business suspension, or bidding participation restrictions will be taken according to relevant regulations.

A county official said, "We will make every effort through this special inspection to ensure that local workers and small businesses can have a warm and happy Chuseok holiday."
