December of last year, a restaurant in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
It is a weekday lunch for employees of the community center under the Yongsan-gu Office, and there is a bottle of makgeolli on the table.
At the time, due to the third recurrence of Corona 19, public officials were demanding that the quarantine guidelines be thoroughly followed.
As a result, meetings that were scheduled in advance were canceled one after another, but witnesses say that these employees frequently drank during lunchtime.
[A 씨 / 제보자 : 보통 막걸리 한 병 가지고 반주 형태로 먹고요. 조금 그날따라 술이 받는다 하면 두 병까지 먹는 것도 종종 목격을 했습니다. (돌아와서는) 앉아서 졸고 있고, 의자 뒤로 제쳐 놓고….]
In the same community center, it was also discovered that all employees falsely applied for overtime pay.
In particular, five of them are suspected of repeatedly manipulating commute times.
In some cases, the amount of time you wrote that you worked without working for a little over a month from last June reaches 72 hours.
[ A 씨 / 제보자 : 아침에 일찍 나와서 (지문 찍고) 헬스장을 간다거나…(회식 끝나면) 초과수당 지문 찍으려고 다 사무실 몰려가서 지문 찍는 그런 행태를 목격했습니다.]
Yongsan-gu received a related report in August and entered an audit.
While no conclusion has been reached for four months, we are reviewing a warning rather than a formal disciplinary action, saying that lunchtime should be viewed as private time for midday drinking.
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security, which oversees the service and disciplinary system of local governments, responds that it is difficult to understand.
[행정안전부 관계자 : 점심시간이 사적이라는 게…사실 품위 유지 의무가 딱 근무시간을 한정해서 지키는 건 아니잖아요.]
In addition, despite the claimant’s claim that false claims for allowances continued for two years, Yongsan-gu only took issue with the remaining 40 days of CCTV records, and only recovered the allowances that were fraudulently obtained at this time.
It is because there is no data for the rest of the period, so it cannot be confirmed.
When asked about the position regarding the audit of the community center, Yongsan-gu said that it took the matter seriously and thoroughly investigated it, and said that it would try to prevent a recurrence.
