Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province is operating a ‘Visiting Labor Counseling Center’ for workers facing difficulties such as wage arrears ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 4th that it has designated the period until the 13th as an intensive labor counseling period and will provide counseling for workers who find it difficult to receive professional labor consultations due to busy schedules or cost issues.

For Suwon Station, the Southern Counseling Center of the Provincial Labor Rights Center will conduct direct labor consultations until the 13th, and counseling centers will also be operated at ▲Uijeongbu Station on Line 1 (10th, 12th) ▲Pyeongtaek Station on Line 1 (4th) ▲Chunui Station on Line 7 (10th).

During the Chuseok holiday period from the 14th to the 18th of this month, Gyeonggi Province will also operate a Wage Arrears Reporting Center (031-8030-4547) to promote the labor rights of residents.

If wage arrears are confirmed through counseling, the affected workers will be informed about the amount owed, the complaint procedures, and the Village Labor Attorney support system.

Any worker residing in Gyeonggi Province or working at workplaces within the province can receive free labor consultations. Counseling is available not only for wage arrears but also for issues such as employment contract drafting, annual leave, unfair dismissal, industrial accidents, and workplace harassment.

This counseling is conducted in connection with the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s ‘Wage Arrears Prevention and Settlement Intensive Guidance Period’ during the holiday season, focusing on promptly resolving workers’ wage arrears issues.

Jo Sang-gi, Director of the Labor Rights Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "I hope that the visiting labor counseling will protect the rights of vulnerable workers and serve as an opportunity to create an environment where they can work under better working conditions."
