Thai Cabinet has approved paid leave of up to
15 days for state officials or employees whose wives have given birth to take
care of the new mothers and babies, acting government spokesman Anusorn
Eiumsa-ard said yesterday.
Saying
that the Cabinet had approved the draft royal decree for state officials'
salary and other payments as well as the draft regulation for state employees'
payments, Anusorn explained that the first draft included permission for state
officials to take up to 15 days off at full salary within 30 days of the
child's birth.
However,
if state officials wanted to take the days off to take care of their wives
after that 30-day period, it would be up to their supervisor, at the director
general or equivalent position, if the officials would receive payment during
the leave period.
The
officials taking extra days off to take care of their newborns would not be
entitled to the salary payment, he added.
The
draft royal decree also allows state officials who haven't been ordained as
Buddhist monks or on a pilgrimage to Mecca to take religious leave with salary
payment for up to 120 days, while officials wishing to take leave for
vocational rehabilitation were entitled to leave with salary payment for up to
12 months.
The
draft regulation for state employees' payments covered the same terms and the
rules were thus applicable to state employees too, he added.
