The military government has declined to reveal whether workers in some provinces will face pay cuts when the 300 baht national daily minimum wage is scrapped at the end of the year.
The government has announced it is revoking the 300 baht national daily minimum wage — a core policy of the ousted Pheu Thai government — in favour of the old system where wages are set on a province-by-province basis
Labour Ministry permanent secretary Nakhon Silpa-archa gave few details of the decision when he addressed a seminar involving wage committee members on Friday.
He was unable to say how much workers can expect to be paid in future, since remuneration will be based on the cost of living and the economy in each province.
“The ministry is studying the feasibility of floating wages and an appropriate way to set the rates,” he said.
