Separately from the SSF, employers must fund the Workmen's Compensation Fund (WCF) in full—employees do not contribute. The WCF covers work-related injury, illness, disability, or death, with the annual employer contribution rate set by industry risk (roughly 0.2%–1.0% of payroll, subject to the wage cap).

A mandatory Employee Welfare Fund (EWF) is being rolled out for employers with 10 or more staff. From 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, both employer and employee contribute 0.25% of wages (rising to 0.5% from October 2031). Employers that already provide an equivalent scheme, such as a registered provident fund covering all employees, may be exempt.

Year-end (New Year) bonuses are the most common form, frequently ranging from one to a few months' salary in strong years. Performance-linked bonuses tied to individual KPIs or company results are increasingly used in technology, finance, and multinational firms to reward and retain high performers. Because bonuses are customary rather than statutory, the terms should be documented clearly in the employment contract or company policy.

Because SSF healthcare is tied to a single registered hospital, most mid-sized and larger employers add private medical insurance so staff can access private hospitals, wider outpatient cover, and sometimes dental and optical care. Group life and accident cover are frequently bundled in, and cover may extend to dependents for senior roles.

Cash allowances are a standard part of many Thai packages. Common examples include a transport or travel allowance, a daily meal allowance, and—especially for relocated or senior staff—a housing or accommodation allowance. Some employers also provide a mobile phone or communication allowance.

Employers often grant annual leave above the statutory 6 days (commonly 10–15 days), and increasingly offer hybrid or flexible working arrangements—particularly in technology and multinational companies—as a low-cost, high-value retention tool.

Training budgets, certification sponsorship, and language courses are popular perks that support career growth and help employers retain skilled professionals in a competitive hiring market.
