Yangsan Branch Office of the Ministry of Employment and Labor to Conduct the Third "On-Site Preventive Inspection Day"

Targeting 122 Major Workplaces and Industries with High Risk of Wage Arrears Ahead of the Holiday Season

The Yangsan Branch Office of the Ministry of Employment and Labor is operating the "On-Site Preventive Inspection Day" to establish basic labor order and strengthen labor management capabilities at small businesses. The third round of On-Site Preventive Inspection Day will be conducted from September 18 to October 2.

For this inspection, labor inspectors will directly visit 122 major workplaces and industries with a high risk of wage arrears ahead of the Chuseok holiday. They will immediately address violations such as unpaid wages and minimum wage breaches, and provide guidance on basic labor management practices, such as drafting employment contracts and wage statements, in parallel with consulting.

In particular, for small and micro businesses that are vulnerable in labor management, a "Labor Inspection Result Briefing and Group Consulting" will be held at the Yangsan Branch Office convention room and other locations on September 29 and 30, aiming to promote the spread of voluntary compliance systems.

Previously, in the first half of this year, the Yangsan Branch Office conducted on-site inspections at 180 small businesses, uncovering a total of 165 legal violations, including 787 million won in unpaid wages affecting 309 workers. The office issued corrective orders and imposed penalties accordingly.

Kwon Kuhyung, head of the Yangsan Branch Office, stated, "We will strengthen supervision to prevent wage arrears for vulnerable workers ahead of the holiday season," and added, "We will continue proactive efforts to ensure a culture of compliance with labor laws takes root in the field through consulting and education."
