The construction site promises never to pay wages, and the wage policy for migrant workers in 2022
1. The construction site promises never to pay wages, and the wage policy for migrant workers is 202 1.
Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on comprehensively managing the wage arrears of migrant workers" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"). The Opinions require that we should focus on the construction fields such as construction, municipal administration, transportation, water conservancy, and labor-intensive processing and manufacturing, catering services and other industries that are prone to wage arrears, improve the institutional guarantee system that combines source prevention, dynamic supervision, and disciplinary punishment for dishonesty, and improve the work system of market subject self-discipline, government supervision according to law, social coordinated supervision, and judicial linkage punishment. By 2020, the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers will be fundamentally curbed, and efforts will be made to achieve basically no arrears.
The Opinions pointed out that the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers is related to the vital interests of the vast number of migrant workers, social fairness and justice and social harmony and stability. After years of governance, obvious results have been achieved, but this problem has not been fundamentally solved. The problem of wage arrears in some industries, especially in engineering construction, is still outstanding. Some government investment projects are in arrears with the wages of migrant workers to varying degrees, which seriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers.
The "Opinions" emphasize that it is necessary to clarify the main responsibilities of all parties to wage payment. In the field of engineering construction, construction general contracting enterprises take overall responsibility for the wage payment of migrant workers in the contracted projects. Supervise all kinds of enterprises to sign labor contracts with migrant workers in accordance with the law and strictly perform them, establish a roster of employees and handle labor and employment filing. In the field of engineering construction, we will fully implement the real-name management system for migrant workers.
The "Opinions" pointed out that it is necessary to improve the wage payment monitoring and security system, improve the enterprise wage payment monitoring mechanism, improve the wage security system, establish and improve the special account management system for migrant workers' wages (labor expenses), and implement the responsibility for unpaid wages. It is necessary to promote the construction of a credit system for enterprise wage payment, establish a "blacklist" system for enterprises with wage arrears, and incorporate illegal information such as wage arrears into the credit information system of relevant departments. It is necessary to deal with cases of unpaid wages according to law, severely investigate and deal with unpaid wages, and promptly handle disputes over unpaid wages.
Two, the State Council issued the "comprehensive management of wages owed to migrant workers".
Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Comprehensively Handling the Problem of Wage Arrears for Migrant Workers, calling for focusing on industries prone to wage arrears, such as construction, municipal administration, transportation, water conservancy and labor-intensive processing and manufacturing, and catering services, improving the system guarantee system that combines source prevention, dynamic supervision and punishment for dishonesty, and improving the working system of market subject self-discipline, government supervision according to law, social coordination supervision and judicial linkage punishment, and striving to fundamentally curb wage arrears for migrant workers by 2020.
The Opinions emphasize that it is necessary to fully implement the responsibility of enterprises to pay the wages of migrant workers. In the field of engineering construction, construction general contracting enterprises take overall responsibility for the wage payment of migrant workers in the contracted projects. Supervise all kinds of enterprises to sign labor contracts with migrant workers according to law and strictly perform them, and fully implement the real-name management system for migrant workers in the field of engineering construction. Construction general contracting enterprises shall strengthen the supervision and management of labor employment and wage payment of subcontracting enterprises, and shall not entrust subcontracting. It is necessary to implement the system of paying wages on behalf of banks, and in the field of engineering construction, encourage subcontracting enterprises to entrust the wages of migrant workers to general contracting enterprises for direct payment. It is necessary to improve the system of wage deposit and emergency working capital for arrears of wages, establish and improve the management system of special accounts for wages (service fees) of migrant workers and the "blacklist" system for enterprises in arrears of wages, and promote the supervision and joint punishment of arrears of wages as a whole. It is necessary to implement the payment guarantee system and mortgage payment system for construction projects and guide qualified labor service teams to develop into specialized enterprises.
Third, the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers is related to the "national policy"
In order to solve the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers in an all-round way, the General Office of the State Council recently issued "Opinions on Comprehensive Management of Wage Arrears for Migrant Workers" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"). The Opinions put forward 16 specific governance measures from five aspects: standardizing enterprise wage payment behavior, improving wage payment monitoring and security system, promoting the construction of enterprise wage payment credit system, handling wage arrears cases according to law, and improving construction project payment management and employment methods.
The problem of wage arrears for migrant workers every year will become a hot topic in the news. In order to ask for unpaid wages, migrant workers even have to "carefully plan" and stage a "salary show" to win the attention and sympathy of the society to solve the problem. Almost every year, the "live drama" of migrant workers asking for wages has innovation. This kind of alternative innovation reveals that wage arrears for migrant workers have become a deep-rooted social "chronic disease", and we must take decisive measures to prevent and contain it from the root of system construction.
The Opinions not only gives the top-level design for comprehensively solving the problem of wage arrears of migrant workers through five overall plans, but also draws a road map for solving the problem through sixteen excellent concrete measures, and even puts forward a timetable for fundamentally curbing the wage arrears of migrant workers by 2020. In this way, when local governments deal with the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers, they not only have a work guide, but also have a sense of urgency, and they will be more active in their work.
In fact, as early as April 20 14, the relevant person in charge of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers should be comprehensively dealt with. But today, the effect of local governance is not significant. Taking Hunan Province as an example, according to the figures released at the recent meeting of the special inspection and coordination steering group on the wage payment of migrant workers in the province, as of the end of February 20 1565438, the wage arrears of migrant workers in the province amounted to 483 million yuan, an increase of 84.35% year-on-year. Moreover, Wang Xbai, deputy director of the Hunan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, also said that there is a trend of "unpaid wages spreading from the construction sector to other industries". This shows that the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers must be dealt with comprehensively, deeply and thoroughly, otherwise it may not only be repeated, deteriorated or even spread. At present, Hunan Province has taken measures such as paying wages by banks, and carried out pilot projects in some areas. No matter what the pilot effect is, the opinions from the State Council, the highest administrative organ, will become a "timely rain" to guide and support local governments to comprehensively deal with the wage arrears of migrant workers.
Failure to solve the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers will not only dampen the enthusiasm of migrant workers, worsen labor relations, aggravate the "shortage of migrant workers" in some areas, and reduce the already weak demographic dividend, but also amplify social injustice, tear social sentiment, and even hinder the social process of rural urbanization and urbanization of migrant workers. The comprehensive treatment of wage arrears of migrant workers is actually related to national policies and the overall situation. The release of the "Opinions" is both a guide and a reminder. All localities should attach great importance to it and resolutely implement it.
