How does SSO Thailand interact with the Employee Welfare Fund (EWF)?

Answer

The Employee Welfare Fund (EWF) is a separate mandatory scheme, originally planned for October 2025 and now expected from October 2026. It provides additional severance protection funded by employer contributions, separate from SSO contributions. Employers should plan for both schemes to be active simultaneously from late 2026 — two distinct payroll obligations on top of the phased SSO ceiling increase.
