What is the reason why it is difficult to implement the monthly salary system for construction workers?

In order to protect the wages of migrant workers, in fact, the relevant departments have long thought of many ways and made great efforts to make most industries pay workers monthly. However, judging from the reaction of some migrant workers in the construction industry, although the higher authorities require employers to implement a monthly salary system for migrant workers, there are still many construction enterprises that have not paid wages to workers on a monthly basis.

Why is it difficult for the construction industry to pay a monthly salary? There are many reasons for this, so I won't talk about them. Let me briefly analyze it from the perspective of our common people:

1 There is an unwritten rule in the industry. In the construction industry, there is an unwritten rule that wages are not paid monthly, but at the end of the year or after the project is completed. This is the practice of most construction industries. Besides, some construction units have a conscience and will pay wages according to the progress of the project, but in any case, these methods are not paid monthly, which is particularly prone to wage arrears.

It is no secret that the construction industry subcontracts at different levels. Some projects have been subcontracted seven or eight times, and each subcontracting will cause the risk of wage arrears. I won't explain this point, and everyone should understand. In short, the more subcontracting times, the more foremen involved, which will easily lead to wage arrears.

The contractor should be "empty-handed and white wolf". In the image of many people, the contractor should be very rich, but in fact, the liquidity of the contractor is running out. Many of them want to make money by contracting projects with "empty gloves and white wolves", and they will not invest at all, nor will they contribute their own money. Because the contractor does not have enough funds, the wages of migrant workers can only be determined by the progress of the project, and because of the different progress of the project, it is difficult to pay the wages of migrant workers in full and on time.

The contract method determines that the monthly salary system is difficult to implement. There is another reason why the monthly salary system is difficult to implement. That is, most projects are contracted, and employers will pay some money in advance according to the progress of the project. However, even after the project is completed, it will be settled by the relevant units.

Therefore, there are also great risks for contractors to contract projects. They have to wait until the project is completely completed and accepted before they can get the project payment and pay the wages to the migrant workers. If the contractor can't get the project payment, of course, he won't pay the salary on time, so the monthly salary system is difficult to implement.

In order to save costs, a few construction enterprises, or contractors, failed to fulfill the relevant regulations to save costs, which is also the reason why the wages of migrant workers cannot be paid monthly. In particular, some contractors, obviously rich, will deliberately default on their wages, because they think that they can earn interest by putting their money in the bank and earning interest for an extra day, and of course they don't want to give out their wages.

6. There are even some contractors with ulterior motives. They just want to pay less by default. For example, some contractors know that wage arrears will not be punished. After a long time, many migrant workers will take the initiative to discuss with him and ask for a little salary, so that the contractor can leave out a large part of his salary aboveboard.

It is precisely because of the above common reasons that migrant workers are often owed wages, and it is difficult to implement the monthly salary system for migrant workers. I hope this problem can be really improved in the future, so that migrant workers can work with confidence.

What should I do if I am owed wages?

What should I do if I encounter unpaid wages? This is the answer that many people want to know. In fact, there are many ways and means to solve it. Although most of the solutions are cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious, there is no way. How do you know if you don't try and fight for it? Right? If we are owed wages, I suggest trying the following methods:

1 Complaint: In the case of "unpaid wages", workers can directly complain and report to the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the labor security supervision agency where they are employed, or they can defend their rights by telephone, official website mailbox, WeChat official account, etc. This is the most direct and effective way.

If we apply for mediation and arbitration, we will definitely negotiate with the employer as soon as possible after we are owed wages. If we have evidence and eloquence, it is of course best to negotiate well. If negotiation fails, then we can take legal channels and apply for mediation to grassroots mediation organizations. Unwilling to mediate, failing to mediate or failing to perform after reaching a mediation agreement, they may also apply to the local labor dispute arbitration committee for arbitration.

Bring a lawsuit. If you still can't get your salary back after the above two procedures, or apply for labor arbitration but are not satisfied with the arbitration result, you can bring a lawsuit to the local people's court within the prescribed time limit. This is a helpless way.

4. Contact China W Hospital. If you have tried all kinds of ways and means after being owed wages, but it still doesn't work, then I suggest that you can log on to the "Internet Plus Supervision Platform" of China W Hospital and report the situation on it. In this case, the superior leader will make the decision for us.
