The cabinet approved in principle a draft royal decree extending mandatory Section 33 social security to currently exempt workers: crop cultivation, forestry and livestock employees, household workers, gardeners, drivers and street vendors. Three agencies, including the Budget Bureau, have asked the Labour Ministry to review costs first. The Budget Bureau warned that contributions could raise costs for small employers, leading to job cuts, fewer working days or informal hiring. Nothing is in force yet. If you employ farm, household or driver staff, watch for the final decree and its contribution rules before changing headcount or payroll budgets.
