Ministry of Labour Sets 30-Day Deadline for Ceramic Factory Wage Payments
Thailand's Ministry of Labour has ordered a ceramic factory to settle over 2 million baht in outstanding wages and compensation for 252 workers within one month.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Thai Ministry of Labour has intervened in a labor dispute involving a ceramic manufacturing facility. Ministry spokesperson Phiphatchai confirmed that officials have issued a formal directive requiring the factory management to pay more than 2 million baht in unpaid wages and severance compensation to 252 affected employees.
The Ministry has established a strict 30-day deadline for the company to fulfill these financial obligations. Ministry representatives have visited the site to monitor the situation and ensure that the workers receive the compensation they are legally entitled to.
For residents and expatriates, this development highlights the government's active role in enforcing labor standards and protecting worker rights within the industrial sector. While the Ministry is currently overseeing the process, the final outcome depends on the factory's compliance with the 30-day order. It remains to be confirmed whether the company will meet the deadline or if further legal action will be required to secure the funds for the workers. Those interested in labor rights or industrial relations in Thailand should monitor local updates for further developments regarding this case.
