The payments were due to be made at the end of last year.
“The bonus payment was delayed because of the company’s liquidity problem,” an official at Kumho Tyre told the Yonhap news agency.
The official said the annual bonus payment was postponed indefinitely, adding the company “will make its utmost efforts” to pay the bonus of 2.5m won (US$1,900) per worker.
