Gimje City provides up to 100,000 won per year in industrial accident insurance premiums for platform workers

Gimje City, Jeollabuk-do, announced on the 11th that it would support industrial accident insurance premiums for platform workers.

The targets include delivery workers, designated drivers, and door-to-door salespeople with addresses in Gimje City.

The city will pay 80% of the total industrial accident insurance premiums paid between January and October of this year, up to a maximum of 100,000 won.

The city explained that although they are easily exposed to accidents, their subscription rate is low because, unlike general workers, they have to pay half the industrial accident insurance premiums with their employers.

Applications can be submitted by e-mail ([email protected]) by the 20th.

Mayor Jeong Seong-ju said, “This is a project to encourage platform workers to sign up by reducing the burden of industrial accident insurance premiums,” and added, “We will continue to pursue projects to strengthen the social safety net for them.”
