Minimum wage waive floated to sustain SMEs
The government is being advised to waive the daily minimum wage requirement for six months to help entrepreneurs maintain employment during the pandemic.
Thanit Sorat, vice-chairman of the National Labour Development Advisory Council, said the council estimated that the country’s total unemployed could reach 9-10 million by the end of this month after the government declared a state of emergency and curfew nationwide, up from 6.5 million in March.
