VIENTIANE: The government has instructed businesses and service providers to pay a higher supporting allowance to low-wage workers to ensure their monthly income rises to 2.5 million kip, starting from Oct 1.
The Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare issued a notice to this effect on September 27, which if carried out will see workers without qualifications or prior training receive a monthly allowance of 900,000 kip.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
