Hefei City, Anhui Province has set up a special manager to protect the rights and interests of migrant workers——
Arrange special personnel to inspect to ensure the payment of wages
"I'm sorry, I'm late!" When the reporter met Li Rongbing, he had just returned from a construction site inspection.
Li Rongbing has dark skin, a clean flat head, and the toughness of a retired soldier. As an ordinary staff member of the Organization and Personnel Bureau of Hefei High-tech Industrial Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as "High-tech Zone") in Anhui Province, one of his important daily tasks is to inspect the payment of wages to migrant workers at construction sites in his jurisdiction. "There are more than 200 construction sites in the high-tech zone, and according to the deployment requirements of Hefei City, my colleagues and I need to touch them all out within three months. For projects with a huge amount of funds or a large hidden danger of arrears, it is necessary to carry out multiple surveys. Li Rongbing said.
The reporter followed Li Rongbing to the construction site of a science and technology innovation park project in the high-tech zone. In the engineering project department, representatives of the construction unit, the general contractor, the supervision party, and the labor management officer have already taken their seats, "We require all parties to send representatives to attend each inspection." Li Rongbing said.

Fang Tian, the labor-management supervisor of the project, successively issued to Li Rongbing the voucher for the advance payment of the project, the voucher for the entry of the special account for the wages of migrant workers, the workers' attendance sheets, the workers' wage confirmation sheets, and the bank statements for the payment of wages.
According to the regulations, the construction unit shall allocate the full amount of labor costs to the special account for the wages of migrant workers on a monthly basis. Among them, the proportion of wages allocated for housing construction projects shall not be less than 25% of the total project cost. Looking at the above information, you can judge whether the wages of migrant workers are paid in full and on time.
"Through our daily inspections, we can determine whether all parties have implemented the wage payment system, and if there is a risk of wage arrears, we can also supervise and rectify them in a timely manner. Li Rongbing said that in this process, labor management officers played an important role.
Gu Xi, head of the Hefei Labor and Social Security Supervision Detachment, said that according to the regulations, the general contractor should have at least one labor-management specialist in the project department, and all labor-management supervisors must undergo training and assessment and hold certificates to take up their posts. By the end of November last year, Hefei had carried out 88 publicity and education activities to eradicate wage arrears, involving more than 17,000 people.
At a construction site in the high-tech zone, the reporter saw a QR code of "Hefei City Wage Arrears Rights Protection" posted in a conspicuous place at the gate of the construction site. "Last year, we printed 200,000 QR codes and posted them on site gates and hard hats. At the same time, through publicity and other means, improve the awareness of migrant workers to protect their rights in accordance with the law. Gu Xi Jun said.
Not far from the entrance of the construction site, there is also a "Notice Board for Migrant Workers to Protect Their Rights", which publicizes the names and contact information of the person in charge of the general contractor and the labor manager. "If my co-workers and I have any questions about wage payment, we call the labor manager, and it works," said Huang Quanyou, a migrant worker.

Zhang Yu is an ordinary full-time housewife in Xugou Town, Qingxu County, Taiyuan City, a few years ago, her husband died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage when he got out of the car in Zhangjiakou. The family lost their only source of income, leaving behind three children to raise, which was very difficult.
In 2022, after dynamic monitoring and investigation of poverty prevention, the two committees of Dongnanfang Village reported Zhang Yu's situation to the Party Committee of Xugou Town, and the Party Committee of Xugou Town decided to make him enjoy the subsistence allowance first, and included Zhang Yu's family in the category of "households with sudden serious difficulties" to return to poverty monitoring, and enjoy a monthly relief fund of 1,300 yuan and preferential medical insurance policies.
"Zhang Yu belongs to the monitoring households with the ability and willingness to work, so we have adopted development-type assistance measures for him to implement employment. Guo Liwei, director of the Qingxu County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, said. After soliciting Zhang Yu's opinions, the Party Committee of Xugou Town and Taiyuan Preschool Normal College jointly carried out employment assistance. In March last year, Zhang Yu officially joined the school's logistics support department.
Since 2023, Taiyuan City has carried out the work of consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and effectively connecting with rural revitalization, focusing on dynamic monitoring and assistance to prevent poverty return. At present, Qingxu County has carried out two rounds of centralized large-scale investigation and normal investigation of 14,660 households in the town, and 15 households in 6 villages such as Fengrun and Dongnanfang have been included in the monitoring, and "one household, one policy" has formulated a precise assistance plan. For those who have the ability to work, we will implement development-type assistance measures such as industrial employment, for the weak and semi-laborers, we will work with the human resources and social security departments to provide public welfare posts, and for those who are unable to work, we will cooperate with the Civil Affairs Bureau to ensure the minimum allowance, and as of 2023, 12 people from 5 households have enjoyed the basic guarantee, realizing that they should be covered and helped.
In order to prevent the masses from returning to poverty, Qingxu County is guided by the employment needs of the people in difficulty, and has made every effort to promote the employment of the people in difficulty through a number of measures such as improving employment policies, optimizing employment services, and strengthening employment guidance. A public welfare gig market of more than 730 square meters has been built, the supply of jobs has been increased, and the government has issued job subsidies, and 5,754 new jobs have been created in the first three quarters of last year.
Outside Qingxu County, the warmth of the "Warmth Action" spread to all districts and counties of Taiyuan City. Social workers in Hezeyuan Community in Wanberlin District installed plastic film on the doors and windows of the homes of the elderly living alone to ensure that the indoor temperature was appropriate......
Since December 18 last year, the Taiyuan Civil Affairs Bureau has sent a supervision team to supervise and guide the prevention and response to low-temperature, rain, snow and freezing disasters in 10 counties and districts to ensure the implementation of various civil affairs policies. "The next step will be to give full play to the role of civil affairs as a backstopper, implement various social assistance policies, and visit and comfort all kinds of people with special difficulties to ensure that the masses spend the winter safely and warmly. Li Yajiang, director of the Taiyuan Civil Affairs Bureau, said.
Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, helps migrant workers recover unpaid wages——
Integrate multiple forces to mediate disputes
With two stacks of banknotes in hand, Lao Huang had counted them back and forth several times. On the morning of November 29 last year, in the reception hall of the Jiangnan District Government of Nanning City, Lao Huang received the arrears of wages. Together with him, there were 14 workers who received a total of more than 480,000 yuan.
Lao Huang, a migrant worker, is named Huang Rongke, 42 years old, from Chengguan Town, Xincheng County, Guangxi. He was engaged in hydropower installation at a construction site in Nanning City, and worked hard for half a year, but was owed more than 20,000 yuan in wages by a construction company in Hubei, the construction unit.
"At that time, my hair was gray. Huang Rongke, who now works in the Shijin Bean Products Processing Workshop in Xincheng County, said while processing yuba.

Ensuring that migrant workers' wages are paid on time and in full is related to the vital interests and well-being of migrant workers. Guo Pengfei, deputy head of the Nanning Labor and Social Security Supervision Detachment, said: "Since the launch of the special operation, Nanning has taken the initiative to inspect 1,676 employers, settled 100 cases of wage arrears, and recovered 4.1524 million yuan in wages and benefits for 593 workers. ”
Huang Rongke recalled that the construction company was able to pay wages on a monthly basis at first, but then it began to delay. When he was most struggling, he couldn't afford to pay the rent of 500 yuan, so he had to borrow money everywhere to get by.
"I believe the government can help me. With anticipation, Lao Huang walked into the Nanning Labor Rights Protection Service Hall.
On-site complaints, only one ID card is required, and the threshold is zero. When making the investigation and questioning records, Lao Huang reflected the work address, the time of entry and exit, and the amount of wages in arrears.
After the case was filed, the supervisors made a comprehensive investigation and formulated corresponding countermeasures for Lao Huang. "We implement the 'big data + iron footboard' work method, people are staring at people, people are staring at projects, 'one case, one investigation and one report', and we will never retreat if we do not rule out the hidden danger of wage arrears. Inspector Li Chenqi said.
The Nanning Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau issued a "Correction Instruction within a Time Limit" to the company, but the company refused to pay within the time limit. The Ombudsman found that the balance in the company's bank account was sufficient, but the company still refused to pay the workers. The Human Resources and Social Security Bureau transferred the case to the Nanning Municipal Public Security Bureau on suspicion of refusing to pay labor remuneration. On November 16 last year, the Jiangnan Branch of the Nanning Municipal Public Security Bureau criminally detained the person in charge of the project in accordance with the law. The arrest was approved by the Jiangnan District Procuratorate, and on the 24th, the public security police arrested him.
As soon as the project leader was caught, he expressed his "willingness to pay the workers immediately." On the day the money was issued, Huang Rongke was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and he went to the scene at 5 o'clock in the morning to wait. "My heart is warm, thank you for the efforts of all government departments!"
In order to put an end to prevarication and perfunctory responsibility, Nanning City implements the first question responsibility system and strengthens the implementation of the main responsibility. The human resources and social security departments have strengthened supervision and law enforcement, the competent departments of the industry and the comprehensive law enforcement departments of urban management have strengthened the law enforcement of the "three guarantees and one reliance", and the public security organs have done a good job in filing and investigating cases......
"Nanning City has established a labor rights protection service 'package and quick handling', established a linkage resolution center for the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of flexible employees, and also established a municipal labor and personnel dispute multi-mediation center, so that all parties work together to ensure that cases are not delayed or backlogged. Guo Pengfei said.
