Recently, Master Yang, a migrant worker from Duoxing Village in Xixi County, expressed his joy upon receiving wages that had been owed for many years, saying: “Thanks to the county’s Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, I finally received this overdue payment!”
Previously, migrant workers from Duoxing Village in Xixi County and Xiangcun Village in Wanfoshan Town reported through the 12345 Government Service Hotline that after the completion of high-standard farmland construction projects in 2020 and 2021, their wages had not been settled. The county’s Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision utilized “embedded” regular supervision via the 12345 Government Service Hotline to urge the county’s Agricultural and Rural Affairs Bureau, Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and Finance Bureau to coordinate and address the issue. After verification, it was found that the high-standard farmland construction project in Duoxing Village owed 21 migrant workers a total of 38,635 yuan, while the project in Xiangcun Village owed 7 migrant workers 190,580 yuan. The number of affected individuals was large, and the time span was long, leading to strong demands from the migrant workers.
To effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers, the county’s Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, in conjunction with the 12345 Government Service Hotline, Agricultural and Rural Affairs Bureau, and Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, established a mechanism for the oversight and coordination of wage arrears issues. This formed a closed-loop management system of “clue transfer—joint handling—tracking supervision—fund disbursement—archiving.” By organizing tripartite consultations and conducting on-site progress checks, they continuously enforced the accountability of the project responsibility units for rectification.
By September 2025, both wage arrears had been fully paid in cash or via bank transfer, recovering a total of 229,215 yuan for 28 migrant workers. “We not only aim to help migrant workers recover their unpaid wages but also to deeply investigate the underlying issues of inadequate performance and regulatory gaps that led to these wage arrears,” said a responsible official from the county’s Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision. They will seriously hold accountable those responsible for the wage arrears and propose rectification suggestions for institutional loopholes in project management, promoting the establishment of a long-term mechanism to prevent wage arrears for migrant workers.
