Fair Trade Commission fined KRW 50 million for oral contracts and delayed payment crew industries

The Fair Trade Commission said it will impose an order to prevent recurrence and a fine of 50 million won on Daewon Industrial Co., an auto parts manufacturer, for violating subcontracting laws.

The FTC explained that Daewon Industrial did not issue a document stating subcontract payments and delivery times while entrusting more than 500 automobile seat molds to two suppliers for three years from June 2020.

In addition, he is accused of not paying 25.7 million won in delayed interest or bill discount fees while paying subcontract payments beyond the legal payment date even after receiving the mold, and not issuing a certificate of receipt.

The Fair Trade Commission said it will continue to monitor unfair subcontracting practices in the mold sector in the future, saying it has sanctioned oral contracts and delayed payment practices that are customary in the mold sector, the country's core root industry.
