This policy is aligned with the policy announced by Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), Thailand. All employees, contractors, and partners must adhere to legal and ethical labour standards as defined by Thai labour laws and international conventions. The university ensures that employment is voluntary and freely chosen, and that no staff member or contractor is subjected to coercion or exploitation. Periodic reviews and supplier audits may be conducted to verify compliance with this policy.

KMUTNB is committed to achieving fairness and transparency in compensation practices across all employment levels. The university ensures that all staff and faculty members receive equitable pay for work of equal value, regardless of gender, age, or personal background.

To strengthen accountability and transparency, KMUTNB regularly monitors and assesses pay scale data to identify and address any gender pay gaps.

Corrective measures, including salary adjustments or policy revisions, will be implemented when inequities are identified. This monitoring process reflects KMUTNB’s commitment to fair and inclusive employment under the principles of Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8).
