Why are migrant workers always owed wages?

Why do construction sites owe wages to migrant workers every year? Although this problem has been mentioned and not solved, it has not been solved in the end, so let's analyze it today.

Sources of construction workers

Nowadays, many workers do not recruit directly from the construction site, but through the labor market, where migrant workers sign contracts and then pay agency fees. The construction site will pay the wages to the labor service company, and then they will pay them.

It is precisely because there is no formal labor contract that many construction companies are emboldened, which is why they are more willing to entrust labor service companies to recruit people. They can also be irresponsible if something goes wrong. Some unscrupulous intermediaries and some unscrupulous contractors join hands to deceive migrant workers.

On-site wage payment rules

Even though many construction sites indicate that wages are paid on a daily or monthly basis when recruiting people, in fact, many construction sites only pay living expenses every month, and the final salary will not be paid until the end of the year.

Generally, the contractor will promise his workers to settle their wages at the end of the year, so many workers will not take the initiative to ask for wages, but wait for the boss to settle their wages at the end of the year. However, if the capital flow fails, or there is no allocation above, there will be incidents of wage arrears.

Migrant workers' own reasons

Because many migrant workers' cultural level is not high, their thoughts will be more conservative. Therefore, in addition to collecting money, they are unwilling to sign other contracts, and they are always afraid that it will be a bad contract, which will cause them to sever their labor relations and lead to wage arrears to some extent.

However, at present, the state has strict control over the payment of wages to migrant workers, not only urging the construction site to pay wages on a monthly basis, but also going to jail for defaulting on wages, depending on the amount.

Therefore, workers only need to record their wages every day, and use the site recorder to record their working hours and working days, so that everyone can settle all their wages at the end of the year. What do workers think?
