Whenever thinking of starting a business in Cambodia, after all the set-up process for business is done, hiring employees will surely follow. As an employer, offering benefits to the employees is important as it shows them that you are invested not only for their health but also in their daily and future needs for their work as well. But apart from the company’s unique benefits package for the employees, I would like to share some of the common employee benefit packages offered in Cambodia.
Some of the following common employees’ benefits, but not limited to:
- Performance Bonus
- Health Insurance
- Leave
- Allowances
Performance Bonuses
It is common practice in Cambodia for the employer to reward their workers through contractual or discretionary bonuses. While there is no actual requirement under the Cambodian labour law for the employer to pay bonuses to employees, however, the employer can choose to do so, provided that the minimum standards set by the Labour Law for remuneration are met.Health Insurance
If an employee is injured on the job, they are generally entitled to have their health care expenses paid for by the employer.Leave
The employees are entitled to take public holidays as leave as well as the 18 days of Annual Leave, and the employees are generally entitled to up to 6 months of Sick Leave if a medical certificate is provided. Moreover, there is Maternity Leave of 90 days with 50% pay, one day of paid Paternity Leave and there is the Parental Leave which fall under special leave where the employee entitled up to 7 days per event of the family emergencies.Allowances
