The Seoul Metropolitan Government will remove the income criteria for workers to receive the 'heatwave work interruption allowance', which is provided to construction workers and other daily workers. On the 7th, the city of Seoul announced that it will improve the system for the heatwave work interruption allowance, which is currently paid to workers at construction sites and other workplaces with a certain scale or larger, to support more workers. Currently, the heatwave work interruption allowance is provided to workers at construction sites with a total construction cost of 500 billion won or more, and to workers at workplaces with 300 or more workers. The city of Seoul said that it will expand the scope of workers eligible to receive the heatwave work interruption allowance by removing income criteria and providing it to all workers at construction sites and other workplaces that are subject to on-site heatwave measures. The city of Seoul plans to provide the heatwave work interruption allowance to about 1,000 construction sites and workplaces with about 100,000 workers. The city of Seoul said that it will announce detailed implementation plans, including the application period and payment method, once the ordinance is revised. The city of Seoul has been providing the heatwave work interruption allowance since 2021. Last year, about 580 construction sites and workplaces with about 50,000 workers received support.
