"Ensuring Overtime Reliability... Changwon Special City Introduces QR Code Verification for Public Officials' Overtime Work"

Transparent Service Management Expected to Realize Ideal Public Official Standards

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam will strengthen the overtime work certification process starting from the 20th to ensure transparency and reliability in the civil servants' overtime work system.

Previously, employees could simply record their clock-in and clock-out times by clicking a button in the overtime work system. However, after the improvement, employees must use the mobile government ID app installed on their personal phones to scan a QR code within the system for their clock-out time to be recorded. This fundamentally blocks proxy clock-in/out and other fraudulent overtime claims, thereby further strengthening attendance management.

The city explained that the recently revised Ministry of the Interior and Safety guidelines also recommend introducing a QR code recognition method using the mobile government ID as a measure to strengthen overtime allowance management. As more national and local government agencies are adopting this system, the city plans to proactively respond to this trend.

Jung Hyunseop, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, stated, "By strengthening overtime work certification and conducting continuous inspections, we will establish a trustworthy image of public officials for our citizens. In addition, internally, we will work to improve the working environment for our employees by implementing special leave during Family Month, and take the lead in creating a family-friendly workplace to support work-life balance."
