BEIJING -- In 2024, procuratorates in China prosecuted 1,866 individuals for failing to pay labor compensation, a 7.3 percent increase from the previous year, as part of efforts to combat malicious wage arrears.
The procuratorates successfully recovered over 244 million yuan (about $33.6 million) in unpaid wages last year, the Supreme People's Procuratorate said on Tuesday.
The Supreme People's Court has launched a nationwide campaign since November last year to tackle wage arrears to ensure migrant workers receive their rightful pay and return home for Spring Festival family reunions.
