The Labour Ministry is considering restructuring its wage scale for skilled labourers to align with the 300-baht daily minimum wage promised by the Pheu Thai Party.
Permanent secretary for labour Somkiart Chayasriwong said the new wage rates would be enforced tomorrow for skilled labourers in the 11 job categories. The regulation requires enterprises to base their pay rates based on workers' skill groupings.
