Rural Public Corporation Jeonnam to Conduct Special Inspection on Construction Site Wage Arrears Until the 22nd

The Jeonnam Regional Headquarters of the Korea Rural Community Corporation (Head: Jo Young-ho) announced on the 14th that it will conduct an inspection of subcontract payment and worker wage payment status at 131 construction sites ahead of Chuseok.

The Jeonnam Headquarters plans to form a special team to focus on inspecting subcontract management status at 131 construction sites by the 22nd. The inspection will concentrate on whether subcontract contracts are appropriate, the adequacy of subcontract payment, timely payment of wages and equipment fees, and other related matters.

Depending on the inspection results, efforts will be made to encourage the payment of subcontract fees and wages before the Chuseok holiday.

The Jeonnam Headquarters also plans to continuously monitor for unfair practices and the appropriateness of subcontracting at construction sites until the end of the year to ensure that contractors participating in sites ordered by the corporation do not face difficulties.

Head Jo Young-ho said, “Since delays or non-payment of subcontract fees threaten the livelihoods of small businesses and workers, we will continue thorough inspections to create a mutually beneficial atmosphere among all construction site stakeholders.”
