Ministry of Employment operates a window dedicated to reporting overdue wages ahead of Lunar New Year's Day

The Ministry of Employment and Labor will operate a period of intensive guidance on wage arrears prevention and liquidation from tomorrow (6th) to the 24th ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

The Ministry of Labor said it plans to run a dedicated reporting window during the intensive guidance period ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, and in some cases, the head of the agency visits the site and directs the liquidation.

If you look at the details, the head of the agency visits the site and directs the liquidation if the arrears are more than 100 million won, or if there are more than 30 victims, or if there is a dispute due to arrears.

In addition, malicious and habitual delinquent business owners will respond strictly with compulsory investigations such as arrest investigations.

In addition, we will first support employers to voluntarily liquidate using the loan system for unpaid business owners and temporarily shorten the processing period to seven days until the end of February if workers affected by wages claim a large payment.
