As the end of the year approaches, many workers are looking forward to settling their wages and going home for the New Year. It is particularly necessary to maintain a high-pressure stance on addressing wage arrears. Addressing wage arrears should not wait for the masses to come forward. Instead, proactive measures should be taken to change the situation of "chasing after the fact and passive response" to "prevention and active management", forming a pattern of "preventing beforehand and actively managing". The front line should be moved forward to nip wage arrears in the bud, making good use of both technical supervision and credit penalties. Ensuring that workers receive their pay, it is also important to accurately identify the causes of wage arrears, implement targeted measures, and coordinate solutions to debt problems. Adhering to the principle of putting the people first, building a comprehensive governance system, using institutional rigidity to strengthen defenses, and using service warmth to solve problems, the issue of wage arrears will become less and less. Every effort should be respected and rewarded so that the sunshine of development can warm every forward-looking individual.
