Quarantined workers ‘must be paid’
A labour group has called on the government to ensure that workers get paid and their welfare benefits are not affected when they are told by employers to enter quarantine for 14 days.
The call comes amid the surge in Covid-19 infections following the Songkran holiday. Some workers who returned to work from the break have been told to self-isolate as a Covid-19 precaution — but would not receive any pay.
