What should I do if I default on fishermen's wages

Legal analysis: workers who encounter wage arrears can apply to the labor bureau for labor arbitration, or they can further sue the unit that is in arrears with wages in court.

It is illegal for an employer (including a private boss) to deduct or default the wages of workers without reason, or refuse to pay the wages of workers for extended working hours.

The labor administrative department may order the payment of wages and economic compensation to the workers, and may also order the payment of compensation. The Labor Contract Law stipulates that the employing unit shall pay the laborers' labor remuneration in full and on time in accordance with the labor contract and state regulations. If the employer is in arrears or fails to pay the labor remuneration in full, the employee may apply to the local people's court for a payment order according to law, and the people's court shall issue a payment order according to law.
