Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Launches Inspection into 'Expedient Delivery Contracts'

[Economy 365]

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is launching an inspection into the state of expedient contracts at delivery sites across the country.

This action follows the recent discovery of unfair practices that undermine the purpose of standard contracts, such as some delivery offices requiring workers to sign agreements that mandate continuous work without days off.

Although the Ministry made the use of standard contracts mandatory for delivery consignment agreements starting last month, it suspects that there are cases where long-term continuous work is being induced through separate agreements.

If violations are uncovered during this inspection, the Ministry plans to take stern measures in accordance with relevant laws, including issuing improvement orders and imposing fines.

Furthermore, the Ministry has decided to pursue institutional improvements, such as revising the contract forms, by gathering feedback from the field.
