Busan Metropolitan City to Support Installation and Improvement Costs of Worker Welfare Facilities

내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will implement the “2025 Second Half Labor Environment Improvement Support Project” to protect workers’ right to health and reduce the burden on small business owners.

The project, which has been carried out annually since the establishment of the “Busan Metropolitan City Basic Plan for the Protection of Emotional Laborers” in August 2022, aims to institutionalize the protection of emotional laborers and support the creation of an environment where both workers and companies can thrive.

Continuing from the first half of this year, the City will provide up to KRW 5 million per company for:

• ●the new installation (e.g., rest areas, cafeterias) or renovation (e.g., wallpapering, flooring, shower facilities, lactation rooms) of worker welfare facilities, and

• ●the purchase of protective equipment such as air-conditioners and heaters for use in such facilities.

The program will support approximately 10 workplaces, and more than 10% of the support amount must be borne by the participating businesses.

Workplaces interested in applying can do so online via the Local Subsidy Management System “Botaemi(e)” (www.losims.go.kr) from today (July 23) through August 6.

More detailed information about the project is available on the Local Subsidy Management System or through the Notices and Announcements section of the City’s website (www.busan.go.kr/nbgosi).

Kim Bong-cheol, Assistant Mayor of the Digital Economy Office, stated, “Improving worker welfare facilities is directly linked to the health of workers,” and added, “We ask for active interest and participation from companies in this project aimed at creating a pleasant working environment.”
