Cabinet has approved two draft bills and two related labour rules (not yet law). Key points: employers of seafarers must enrol them directly in social security and the workers' compensation fund; under-18s barred from night work 22.00-06.00 on ships. For home-based work, minimum working age 15, child hiring under 18 in hazardous work banned, and late payment or late deposit return carries 15% per year penalty interest; online job-giving is covered. Penalty for hiring under-15s: up to 2 years' jail or a fine of 400,000-800,000 baht. Also state-enterprise spouses (same-sex marriages) get equal medical, compensation and funeral benefits. Check any seafarer, home-worker or child-labour practices now; drafts still need passage before they take effect.
