Suwon City Builds Gyeonggi Province's First 'Contract Employee Salary Management System'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City announced on the 16th that it has built a system to simplify complex contract employee salary management and enhance administrative efficiency, which will be implemented starting this month.

The city has completed construction of the 'Separate Personnel and Salary System for Contract Employees (BISIT)', a computer system that is the first among 31 cities and counties in the province.

The Separate Personnel and Salary System for Contract Employees (BISIT) is a program that can comprehensively manage ▲personnel management ▲four major insurances ▲salary management ▲year-end settlement ▲training and other functions.

The number of contract employees working in the city increased from 348 in 2017 to 838 in 2019, a sharp increase of over 241%, continuously raising the need for systematic salary management.

However, contract employees present management difficulties because their payment systems—including base salary and allowances—differ by job category, according to the city's explanation.

Additionally, contract employee salaries cannot be applied to the general civil service salary program, frequently resulting in payment omissions or errors.

In response, the city established a Salary Team under the Accounting Division in September of last year to enhance administrative efficiency and ensure fast and accurate salary payments. A contract employee salary management system was developed over approximately three months, with 20 million won invested in the project.

Starting from the 20th of this month, integrated salary management and payment will be implemented. Using the new system instead of the existing manual method is expected to increase management efficiency through reduced processing time.

Going forward, the city plans to continuously improve and supplement the salary management system to collectively manage not only contract employee salaries and allowances but also additional tasks such as retirement severance settlement.
