business and employees' performances globally which Thailand is no exception. The Covid19 related impact on the productive economic mechanisms such as the employees through
domestic lockdowns has disrupted the world of the working class in the first and second

the remaining months of this year. The entire sectors (medium or high) at risk experienced
low economic output due to Covid-19 that diminish working hours and wages or worse still
complete job loss especially in the second quarter of the pandemic in Thailand. The job
disruption has affected 6.6 to 7.5 million workers in the first quarter of 2020. The paper cited
