Yongin City Offers Up to 5 Million Won Support for Security and Cleaning Workers' Rest Facilities

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Park No-hoon] Yongin City announced it will provide up to 5 million won to apartment complexes within the city seeking to improve rest facilities for security and cleaning workers, and is recruiting applicant complexes.

Eligible support items include repairs and maintenance of rest facility structures, shower facilities, interior finishing, and flooring, as well as purchase and replacement of equipment such as air conditioners, sofas, and water purifiers.

A single complex may apply for both security workers' rest facility and cleaning workers' rest facility improvement projects, with up to 5 million won provided per rest facility. The apartment complex must bear 10 percent of the total improvement costs.

The city plans to encourage relocating security and cleaning workers' rest facilities, which are currently mostly installed in basements, to ground level, and has reflected this in the scoring rubric.

Interested complexes may submit applications with business plans and related documents by May 2 via mail or email to the relevant contact (js79@korea.kr).

The city plans to select target complexes by June following document review and on-site inspections.

More details can be found on the city's website under "Public Notices and Announcements."

A city official stated, "We are providing support to improve rest facilities so that security and cleaning workers can work in a pleasant environment," and added, "We will develop various policies to foster a culture of mutual prosperity between apartment residents and workers."

Meanwhile, the city enacted the "Yongin City Ordinance on Protection and Promotion of Human Rights of Security Guards and Other Workers in Multi-Family Residential Complexes" in September of last year.
