Social security fund to lend helping hand
The Social Security Board (SSB) on Friday decided to offer financial help to workers registered under its social security system who have either lost their jobs or have been suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Effective from March 1, workers who have lost their jobs because their employers have folded will be given 50% of their salaries — with a ceiling of up to 15,000 baht a month — for a maximum of 180 days, Sutthi Sukoson, permanent-secretary for Labour Ministry, said in his capacity as SSB chairman.
