BANGKOK, Oct 6 (TNA) – The cabinet resolved to hand out 3,000 baht to each worker per month for three months to help maintain employment at small and medium-sized enterprises.

 

The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration proposed the assistance to the cabinet and it was designed for the business operators, each of whom hires no more than 200 workers.

 

Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said the Labour Ministry would propose details of the scheme for the cabinet to approve later.

I believe the post states "each worker" ?

Yes I read that, but I took it to believe that Mr P will give Employers Bht 3000 to help pay for each Employee's wages, not add it on top.

As an SME with 15 employees that are totally reliant on the tourism industry, believe me, this employer will be very grateful for ANY financial assistance.

For one and a half years, the company has received nothing. By the way,  I pay for the Social Security for all of my staff, as well as their income tax.

All of my staff have received cash handouts from the government already.
