Bangkok: The Cabinet has given the green light to adjust the maximum salary ceiling for employees of Thailand Post Co., Ltd., as announced by Deputy Government Spokesperson, Mr. Anukul Prueksanusak. This decision aligns with the resolution of the State Enterprise Labor Relations Committee (SELRC) and the recommendations from the Office of the Civil Service Commission.

According to Thai News Agency, the approved salary adjustments are aimed at several executive levels within the organization. For Level 12, which pertains to the Chief Executive Officer, the original salary cap of 113,520 baht will be increased to 142,830 baht. Level 11, covering the Deputy Managing Director, will see an increase from 108,810 baht to 133,770 baht. Similarly, the salary for Level 10, designated for Managers, will rise from 104,310 baht to 124,770 baht. These changes are set to take effect starting July 1, 2025.

Mr. Anukul explained that the existing salary structure has been in place for 18 years and no longer reflects the current workload demands. By expanding the minimum wage ceiling, Thailand Post aims to attract talented individuals from outside the organization. Despite the 31.26 million baht annual increase in expenses due to this adjustment, it is projected that the overall financial status of Thailand Post will remain stable. The organization has already established plans to boost revenue and cut costs to balance out the increased personnel expenses.
