Gwanak-gu Expedites Payment for Public Construction Projects Ahead of Chuseok

Rapid Execution of Various Construction Payments Including Labor Costs, Subcontract Fees, and Equipment Material Costs by September 27... Active Support from the District to Prevent Wage Arrears and Ensure Workers Have a Happy Chuseok Holiday

Ahead of Chuseok, the cost of the ceremonial table is expected to average around 304,000 KRW. This is the result of a price survey conducted by the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) on 28 Chuseok seasonal items at 34 major nationwide retailers and 16 traditional markets.

Gwanak-gu (District Mayor Park Junhee) will take focused actions to promptly pay various fees and prevent wage arrears so that residents can reduce the burden of ceremonial table costs and enjoy a prosperous Chuseok.

First, the district plans to complete payments for various construction works and material costs by September 27. To ensure companies receive payments quickly before the Chuseok holiday, the district will complete progress inspections and final inspections for facility construction and government-supplied materials, shortening the payment deadlines.

Along with this, the district will continuously monitor the payment system called ‘Hadogupjikimi’ (Subcontractor Keeper).

The district will thoroughly manage and supervise to prevent delays or non-payments of various fees such as labor costs, subcontract payments, and equipment/material costs.

Furthermore, the district will continue to do its best to prevent wage arrears so that hardworking workers do not suffer damages related to unpaid wages in the future.

District Mayor Park Junhee said, “We will focus on ensuring that there are no delays or non-payments of fees for various construction works ahead of the nation’s major holiday, Chuseok,” adding, “I hope that all workers who sweat diligently on the ground in Gwanak-gu can have a bountiful and warm holiday.”
