Former employees of JSL Global Media have been fully compensated for their work under an order issued by the Labour Protection and Welfare Office, worth 28 million baht in total.
Labour Minister Suchart Chomklin on Wednesday went to the Labour Protection and Welfare Office Region 4 to congratulate the ex-staff who were abruptly laid off without fair compensation in July.
Mr Suchart said they filed complaints with the employment compensation fund because they were offered only 16% of what they were entitled to receive under domestic labour laws. The Department of Labour Protection and Welfare (DLPW) has now paid the final 1.3 million baht of that outstanding amount to 74 workers.
