This year's second daily minimum wage hike to 400 baht took effect yesterday, while a 10% increase in state officials' salaries will be implemented on May 1, says deputy government spokesman Karom Polpornklang.
He said the latest wage increase applied to employees at upscale hotels and resorts with at least 50 staff in the provinces of Bangkok, Krabi, Chon Buri, Chiang Mai, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Phangnga, Phuket, Rayong, Songkhla and Surat Thani.
Employees eligible for the new wage are advised to file complaints with the Labour Ministry if their employers fail to adjust their wage, a move that was approved on March 26, he said.
