BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Labor has said that most nightlife industry workers who were affected by the government’s COVID-19 restrictions have been compensated, after 74,780 people received 5,000 baht in assistance payments from the Social Security Office (SSO) on Friday.

 

The Cabinet approved the relief program on December 21, 2021, allowing workers affected by closures to register under the social security plan under Sections 33, 39, or 40 of the Social Security Act to receive 5,000 baht each. 121,431 people working at night entertainment venues - such as musicians, singers, traditional performers, and nightclub comedians - were prioritized for the program that began on December 29.

 

The Ministry said only about 2,194 registrants have yet to receive compensation due to technical issues such as PromptPay activation failures or issues with linking their IDs to their electronic wallets.

 

SSO Secretary-General Boonsong Thapchaiyuth also urged unregistered workers to complete the registration process by this Friday, as they will have to be verified by related associations such as the Music Association of Thailand and the Professional Entertainment Network Confederation of Thailand by January 28, before being eligible to receive compensation.

What a joke.  A lot of those girl can make that in 1 or 2 nights.

Is that 5,000Baht to cover all the time they were unemployed or a monthly substitute?

Rhetorical question as I know the answer!

It is just a band aid to the band playing onboard the sinking Titanic!

Only the pretty ones.  The scheme above should be limited to the fat and somtam addicts who lose droves of potential customers as soon as they are within sniffing distance.

Probably 5000 Baht more than they paid in income tax during the times they were making thousands per day.

And the horizontal workers?  Do they get help too?

I must add, how many of you concerned posters have been helping these affected night time workers, since COVID 19 happened?

   Have you given them 10 thousand baht, at least to your favorite worker?  Yes there are rich people in Thailand

and some of them are in the present government and other places, but have they all paid money toward this present situation?

  Yup, all about the same amount of Nada...   Just sayng.
