Overview
- The review covered dealings from the law’s November 2024 enforcement through October 2025 in sectors that rely heavily on freelance work.
- Authorities cited 88 firms for failing to specify transaction terms, 89 for paying after deadlines, and 33 for banned acts such as underbidding or reductions.
- Examples included radio stations not issuing written terms for commissions, TV production companies paying after due dates, and TV stations unilaterally setting fees despite rising costs.
- The regulator clarified that canceling work after an order amounts to an unjust change, bank transfer fees cannot be shifted to freelancers, and retroactive unit price cuts are prohibited reductions.
- Officials handled these cases as non-public guidance, while severe or widespread breaches can lead to public recommendations that name companies, with six issued to date alongside hundreds of guidances.
