Learning notes
Explanation
The phrase is built from กองทุน “fund,” สำรอง “reserved” or “set aside,” and เลี้ยงชีพ “to support one’s livelihood.” Its core idea is a fund set aside to support life after employment. In Thailand, it appears in HR documents, employee benefits, payslips, employment contracts, and retirement procedures. Related terms include เงินสะสม for the employee’s accumulated contributions and เงินสมทบ for contributions added by the employer or another party.
Usage
This term is commonly used when discussing employee benefits, payroll deductions, employer contributions, retirement payouts, long-term savings, and fund management. It can appear in conversation, but it mainly belongs to work, finance, and formal benefit-related contexts.
Caution
Do not use it for ordinary personal savings or pensions in general. It specifically refers to a workplace-based retirement savings fund connected to employment.
