Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

No one ever gets paid monthly (must be a law), so I always thought it was ludicrous to be paid on a monthly basis. I realize that in the UK, getting paid monthly is standard, so Brits might prefer that. I find it's easier to manage money when paid regularly, so always thought it would be advantageous for staff who are on the lower end of the pay scale. That's just me though. If they're not used to it they might not like it, and I also get that some people like to receive a big chunk of change all at once.
I worked for 30 years in uk for the same company.i was always paid weekly.they had and still have over 50,000 employees worlwide.you had a choice weekly or monthly.

Working with a large German contingent I can assure you that being paid monthly is not some Brexit bullshit, it's standard across Europe.
