[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will provide free support for personnel management and education to village enterprises starting this year.

Village enterprises are community-level businesses where local residents utilize resources within the region to run profit-making projects that solve common local issues, creating income and jobs, thereby effectively realizing the benefits of the local community.

Currently, there are a total of 286 (preliminary) village enterprises in the province, including 218 village enterprises and 68 preliminary village enterprises. Due to the nature of village enterprises emphasizing community and public interest, support for personnel management, which companies must have, is necessary.

Accordingly, the province plans to support personnel management such as encouraging employee employment and compliance with the Labor Standards Act for village enterprises to help revitalize them.

Applications for support can be made by contacting the Social Economy Division of Gyeonggi Province by the 26th and then submitting documents to the village enterprise department of the respective city or county.

Applicants must submit documents stipulated by the Labor Standards Act according to the number of employees, including details of subscribers to the four major social insurances, employment regulations, labor contracts, wage ledgers, and work-related accident documents.
