Labour officials to check on Bt300 wage hike abuse

To prepare for D-day for payment of the Bt300 minimum daily wage on April 1 in seven provinces, labour relations officials will visit workplaces to make sure employers comply with the hike.

 

Employees already earning higher than Bt300 will neither demand more nor stage wage protests, Department of Labour Protection and Welfare director-general Arthit Issamo said Monday.
During visits to workplaces, DLPW officials will make sure employers have not secretly or openly included other welfare conditions, in monetary value, in the daily wage to absorb their costs, he said.
