What the release reports
Erawan Security and Volantra Security were charged after officers allegedly worked back-to-back shifts lasting seventeen to twenty hours in a day.
Details and conditions
Inspections of nearly two hundred agencies found breaches at about thirty-six percent, with action against fifteen for excessive deployments. Daily work generally cannot exceed twelve hours unless statutory exceptions apply.
Context and follow-up
From January 2021, security lost its exemption from the 72-hour monthly overtime limit. This release reports charges, not convictions of the two agencies. Employers should plan staffing and technology without treating shortages as automatic exceptions.
