Sofitel, terminated workers reach agreement over unpaid compensation

Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra hotel and terminated workers reached a resolution on Wednesday over unpaid dues and bonuses, a day after the former employees protested outside the Labor Ministry.

Meeting notes, signed by Labor Ministry official Nin Vannak, shows that the hotel agreed to pay the terminated workers any outstanding payments, including bonuses, seniority pay and the return of deposits collected from employees.

“The employees agree with the offer made by the company,” the meeting note reads.

Former Sofitel employees, who were terminated in August on account of dropping tourism arrivals during the pandemic, had protested outside the Labor Ministry on Tuesday, after officials had not forwarded their complaint to the Arbitration Council.
