Anyang City Pursues Break Room Improvement Project for Field Workers…Applications Due by 27th

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Anyang City announced on the 21st that it will pursue the '2026 Field Workers Break Room Improvement Project' to enhance the working environment for field workers.

The eligibility targets include social welfare facilities, small and medium manufacturing companies with fewer than 100 employees, and nursing hospitals. These are facilities where workers lack adequate break rooms or where existing facilities are outdated, necessitating new construction or improvement of break rooms.

Support per break room facility ranges from a minimum of 3 million won to a maximum of 22 million won, which may vary depending on the number of applicant companies and existing facility conditions. Applicant organizations must cover 20% of the subsidy.

However, social welfare facilities are required to bear only 5~10% depending on the number of employees.

Applicant organizations may purchase fixtures such as heating and cooling facilities, water purifiers, and chairs within 50% of the subsidy amount, in addition to installing and improving break rooms.

Organizations and companies wishing to participate in this project may apply by the 27th of this month through in-person registration at the Employment and Labor Division (2nd floor of City Hall) or via email. Details can be found on the Anyang City website's Notice and Announcement section.

Jung Eun-joo, Director of the Employment and Labor Division, stated, "Through this project, we will substantially improve rest spaces for field workers to establish a safe workplace culture where workers' rights to adequate rest are guaranteed in Anyang."
