The tripartite committee considering raising daily wages has however to approve brand new rates proposed simply by provincial wage sub-committees due to dramatic differences in proposals submitted with regard to consideration.
The committee requested the provincial income sub-committees to revise their proposals and promises and provide the outcome to the Labour Ministry by September, according to a source.
The meeting was held on Tuesday and chaired simply by Boonchob Suthamanaswong, long lasting secretary of the Work Ministry.
A conclusion cannot be reached because some provinces experienced proposed way too higher rates, while others recommended low rates as well as others did not seek a wage increase, said the source.
Prachin Buri suggested the highest wage rate hike of all whilst a number of other provinces in the same industrial zone, for instance, proposed sporadic rates, said exactly the same source.
Other provinces including Udon Thani, Mukdahan and Nan recommended keeping their minimal wage rates unrevised, which was seen as unrealistic as that would be unfair for workers striving to cope with the impact of high inflation, stated the source.
The provinces that will did not explain precisely why they would want to keep your rates unchanged were told to stick to their previous proposals, provide a good reason plus come up with a suitable new rate, said the original source.
The particular central wage committee — consisting of representatives of the government, employers and employees — planned to finalise the new rates in all provinces by next month and then push to get these take effect before the end of the year, said a source.
The nation has not raised the minimum daily wage over the past two years as the economy was battered by the Covid-19 pandemic. It was agreed in the meeting that raising the daily wage is now necessary to deal with the rising living costs and boost the economic climate.
