MIGRANTS may find it easier to get their unpaid wages this year after China's supreme court yesterday specified punishments for delays.
Anyone neglecting to pay a worker who is owed three months' wages or more and the amount is from 5,000 (US$804) to more than 20,000 yuan, or who owes more than 10 workers a total of 30,000 yuan to more than 100,000 yuan, faces a maximum of three years in jail.
Anyone who resorts to violence when workers come to claim unpaid wages, causing them serious injuries, will face a maximum seven-year sentence. That's also the maximum term for a delay that causes a worker's child to drop out of school.
