“Wing agents do not charge workers who receive cash support payments a service fee. The administration of the company they are suspended from should be contacted if a worker is entitled to the payment but has not received a notification message, advised the ministry.
The provision of cash assistance to workers in the tourism industry, according to Mam Rithy, president of the Cambodian Tourism and Services Workers Federation, is crucial because their living expenditures have not stopped just because their work has.
Given that the industry is still recovering and that many employees are still on suspension from their full-time jobs, he continued, “I encourage the labor ministry to continue providing this help.”
