"daily wage"

The Confederation of Thai Labour (CTL), an umbrella group for labourers, submitted an eight-point demand to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Thursday ahead of Labour Day on Sunday.

FROM JANUARY 1, the daily wage for skilled workers in 19 occupations will range from Bt345 to Bt858 so as to reflect current skills standards.

FINANCE Minister Apisak Tantivorawong has pledged additional tax deductions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) affected by the recent proposed increases in the minimum daily wage.
