order to enhance the professionalism of employees, the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation is supporting external training expenses under the name of 'job competency development fee'.

However, some employees were receiving the subsidy illegally in the so-called 'card gang' method of canceling the payment after receiving the subsidy.



Reporter Hak-Hwi Kim reported.



<Reporter> This



is the internal audit data of the Labor Welfare Corporation under the Ministry of Employment and Labor.



Nursing staff, including nurses and physical therapists at Suncheon Hospital affiliated with the Industrial Complex, were subject to disciplinary action.



Only here in Suncheon Hospital, 183 employees were caught in the audit.



Let's check what happened at Suncheon Hospital.



The Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Corporation is providing budget support for external academies and book purchases to enhance the professionalism of its employees.



If you pay with your card or cash and give a receipt, you can pay up to 350,000 won per person per year.



183 people caught in the audit account for 40% of all Suncheon Hospital employees, and the amount of illegal receipts is over 87 million won.

As a result of the Labor Welfare Corporation audit, it was not a problem unique to Suncheon Hospital.



It was found that 96 people in 9 locations including 7 branch offices across the country were unfairly paid 33 million won in the same way.



The Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service took measures such as light disciplinary action or warning against the employees and recovered the illegal payment.

Korea Labor Welfare Service conducts a full investigation and provides mileage through an online platform rather than cash support. He said that he would improve the system in this way.
