Workers at a company in Sichuan province happily put their wages into sacks and large bags.

Yesterday, Yongyi Construction Group in Suining City, eastern Sichuan Province, spent 20 million yuan ($3 million) to pay its workers in advance, QQ reported. The advance payment includes August and September wages and bonuses for early completion. The company hopes the money will boost their morale and help them meet next year's targets early. |

Most of the workers in the company come from farming backgrounds. September is the school year in China, so the company hopes that paying salaries at this time will help workers pay school fees and buy new things for their children. |
