国内英语资讯:Govt departments, SOEs to meet overdue payments to smaller private companies as much as po

It was decided at the Wednesday meeting that government departments at all levels must make concrete plans, down to each item and each category, for paying up the outstanding undisputed arrears. Those with large sums of arrears will be subject to the oversight and scrutiny by dedicated task forces.

Provincial governments shall shoulder chief responsibility for the repayment work in their provinces. They will coordinate the effort in formulating plans for subordinate cities and counties which are unable to meet the repayments. Large SOEs must take holistic measures in their subsidiary companies to make sure that the repayment tasks are completed.

The meeting urged effective implementation of the regulation on ensuring wage payments to migrant workers and establishment of an inter-agency mechanism for resolving the arrears issue, especially wages owed to migrant workers.

Intensified efforts will be made with a focus on wage arrears to migrant workers in government-invested projects. Going forward, sufficient funds must be set aside in all construction projects to ensure that wage payments to migrant workers are made on time and in keeping with the contractual terms.

In particular, no government departments, SOEs or public institutions should, for whatever reason, owe migrant workers wages.

The SOEs will be urged to strengthen internal discipline for meeting payments on time, make the control and clearing of due payments part of their internal evaluation. No repayments shall be made in commercial bills or other non-monetary forms without the consent of the recipients.
