Abstract
Wage is a very important issue not only for the workers' current living but also for the future laboring landscape. As of 2014, it is reported that about 290,000 workers suffer from delay in payment of wage. The construction industry is particularly labor-intensive, which implies that delay in payment of wage is a serious problem. Despite this fact, in terms of the delayed payment of wage most studies have been conducted on the improvement of a system to resolve delayed payment in exclusion of labor workers' awareness and thinking. Thus, the purpose of this study is to understand construction labor' awareness and analyze the effectiveness of the resolution step of the delayed payment of wage based on construction labors' awareness. In the research result, more than 30 percent of all construction labors and managers are never aware of the settlement procedure of the delayed payment, and it appears that the resolution step system needs to be greatly improved. In conclusion, it is expected that this study will be utilized as fundamental data for the settlement procedure of the delayed payment, and the influence of delayed payment on construction labors' safety behavior and productivity should be further studied in the future.
2014년 기준 29만명의 근로자가 전체 1조 3천억원의 임금체불을 당하는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 노동집약적 산업인 건설산업의 특성상 임금체불로 인한 부작용이 심각한 실정이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 임금체불 해소를 위한 연구는 근로자의 인식을 배제한체 임금체불 해소제도 개선에 주안점을 두고 이루어 지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 임금체불 해소를 위하여 근로자의 인식에 기반하여 임금체불 해소절차에 대한 실효성을 분석하고 근로자들의 인식을 파악하고자 한다. 연구 결과 전체 근로자 및 관리자의 30% 이상이 임금체불 해소절차 및 해소제도에 대하여 전혀 인식하지 못하고 있었으며 연구체불 해소를 위한 제도 또한 많은 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
