Increased benefits for unemployed
The Cabinet approved a Labour Ministry proposal to change the period and rate of benefits people can receive when they are unemployed due to force majeure, Prime Minister’s Office spokeswoman Narumon Pinyosinwat announced today (March 31).
According to previous rules, people can receive benefits amounting to 50 per cent of daily wages for at most 180 days of unemployment if their employers confirm it’s because of force majeure, or if their usual business operations have been hindered by unforeseen circumstances.
