Ministry issues Pchum Ben holiday reminder

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.

Ministry issues Pchum Ben holiday reminder

Post by Adam Xie »

Khmer times:

The Labour Ministry is reminding employers across the Kingdom to give workers four days off during the upcoming Pchum Ben holiday and provide salaries before it begins.

Finally, end of no holiday time, "Darkest 2 months"...

In fact, factorys do comply with this, otherwise workers go to strike.

Do they now?

None of the factory workers I know do.

That said, don't know any current garment sector workers.

I've been getting paid every two weeks since the beginning of the year when the prakas came out. It's not exactly rocket science to implement.

Do you prefer it?

My colleagues were against it, and nothing ever came of it.

I do. However, where I'm from people get paid weekly or every two weeks. 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.
