BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhua) -- China has pledged to eradicate1 crimes related to delaying or denying salary payments before 2015, a prominent source of complaints for migrant workers, Yin Weimin, minister of human resources and social security, said Wednesday.
Wage delays have been a
perennial2 headache for hundreds of millions of migrant workers, who often lack formal contracts and are sometimes left
unpaid3 after their companies report low
earnings4 or declare
bankruptcy5.
Such cases, however, have seen a yearly decline in number, and the trend should end before the 2011-2015 period is complete, Yin said at a press conference held during the country's
ongoing6 legislative7 session.
Yin said China has
implemented8 several measures to tackle the problem, including writing "
intentional9 delay of salary payments" into the criminal law last February.
"Over the past year, Chinese police have handled more than 300 such cases and taken over 200 of them to court," Yin said.
An advanced payment
mechanism10 and a requirement for "guarantee money" from construction companies have also been created by the government in response to complaints about wage delays.
