webfact Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Subdistrict, village headmen to be awarded with special bonus By THE NATION A Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha today (June 23) approved a motion to pay subdistrict and village headmen a special bonus instead of a yearly salary adjustment to boost the morale of local administration officials in helping carry out the government’s policies in this Covid-19 situation. A news source at Government House said the Cabinet has assigned the Interior Ministry’s Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA) and related agencies to come up with suitable rates and payment methods and present them to the Cabinet at its next meeting. The DOPA reported that it currently has 291,244 personnel serving as local administration officials – 7,036 are subdistrict headmen, 67,619 village headmen, 7,036 subdistrict doctors, 14,072 assistant subdistrict headmen and 194,491 assistant village headmen. The department had previously come up with a plan to adjust the salaries of all local administration officials yearly at Bt1,000 to Bt5,000, depending on their positions, under a proposed budget of Bt37.8 billion per year. However, the Cabinet advised the department to replace its salary adjustment plan with a bonus payment to save money.

Popular Post impulse Posted June 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2020 9 hours ago, Dap said: Looks to be buying up the favor of the village headmen, eh? I'd say just the opposite... By the magic of compounding, an increase in salary brings dividends from now until retirement. A bonus is a one time payment that that doesn't factor into next year's remuneration. Companies do the same thing. They hold out bonuses as a substitute for a salary increase, because it saves them a ton of money in the long term. And eventually (taken to the extreme), people retire with the same base salary they had 30 years ago when they started working. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffersLos Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 That's nice. There was a village headman here once. Received 500,000 baht to upgrade the children's playground and park area. 2 months of his house and garden being interior designed and landscaped. No money for the children's playground. He was voted out after 6 months. Big lose of face, apparently. The water features and ponds in his garden are spectacular though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The NCPO first announced the suspension of local elections in July 2014; then, in May 2016, it announced that provincial governors would be allowed to appoint local council members in the event that a council is dissolved. " Guess who appoints the provincial governors (with the exception of Bangkok and Pattaya)? Yes, they were appointed during Yingluck's time, and your point is? Does this in any way detract from the fact that local elections have not taken place since the NCPO suspended them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so strange as its an English issue me as a Dutch guy would say that poo yai baan is local election too. I think its just semantics. Fact remains that elections on lower levels have been held. Fact is also that Prayut can't change those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
