In Cambodia, a standard work day consists of eight hours. Typically, Cambodians do not work more than 48 hours per week.
Employers should not request employees to work more than nine hours per day. By law, employees are not permitted to work more than two hour’s overtime per day.
Overtime is paid at 1.5x an employee’s regular hourly wage. If overtime is conducted at night, on a Sunday, or a designated holiday, it is paid at a rate that is 2x an employee’s hourly wage.

Employees who are injured while working usually qualify to have their associated health care expenses paid by their employer.
In Cambodia, employees are given up to six month’s sick leave, so long as they verify their illness with a doctor’s certificate. This sick leave is paid as follows:
Unlike in the United States, there are additional regulations that protect employees from early termination. If an employer violates these rules, employees may be entitled to significant damages. However, these protections do not apply to all types of employees.
Cambodia allows probationary periods for up to three months. Employers are free to terminate an employee – without notice – during a probationary period.
Employees who are subject to an indefinite-term contract can be terminated by an employer for any reason. However, for fixed-term contracts, the employer must have a valid termination reason, such as significantly poor employee performance.
Employees are typically entitled to termination notices at the following intervals:
Employees who have received notice of termination may spend up to two days per week looking for new employment during the notice period.
In Cambodia, an employee’s minimum wage is determined by two factors: the industry in which they’re employed and any collective bargaining agreements (CBA’s). As an example, Cambodia’s textiles industries have recently raised their minimum wage to $204 per month.
Different industries are likely to have their own minimum wage. As such, CBA’s will generally specify separate compensation laws in Cambodia.
For any employees that work more than eight hours per day or 48 hours per week, they are eligible for overtime payments. Standard overtime rates are 1.5x an employee’s regular hourly wage. If an employee works overtime at night, on a Sunday, or a designated holiday, they are entitled to overtime rates that 2x their regular hourly wage.

All employees in Cambodia are required by law to receive statutory benefits. Employers should include time off for holidays and annual vacations in their benefit management plan.
There are 19 annual public holidays in Cambodia. Many of these holidays are celebrated over multiple days. When drafting an employment contract, employers should be mindful to include paid holidays and inform employees as to their days off.
Employees in Cambodia should receive 1.5 day’s annual leave for each month’s company service. Once an employee has been with a company for three years, they are entitled to an additional day off each year.
Maternity leave is available to female employees that have been with a company for at least one year. Maternity leave is typically for a period of 90 days, with payment half the rate of an employee’s standard salary. Fathers in Cambodia receive one day’s paid paternity leave.
After an employer has drafted a suitable benefit management plan, it is incumbent on them to discuss the distribution of benefits with their employees. Employers should consider supplemental benefits as part of any compensation packages. Whilst these types of benefits are not mandated by law, they can help to attract and retain high-level talent.
Most employees in Cambodia will also expect a seniority bonus of between $2-11 per month. This bonus is determined by the duration of an employee’s company service, beyond a period of one year. Bonuses are generally capped at $11 – which corresponds to 11 year’s company service.
Employees in Cambodia will often expect the following supplemental benefits:
For expanding businesses, one of the major restrictions to benefits and compensation involves setting up a local entity. Employers are generally prohibited from hiring and paying employees without first establishing a subsidiary in Cambodia. This process can take months to complete, which causes significant business delays.

We act as your employees’ Employer of Record, which means there’s no need to establish a subsidiary in Cambodia.
