Hello all,
just a few things i would like to ask. Cannot seems to get straight answer talking to lawyers here in Pattaya doing a search. I work for Thai Ltd. company for 5 years, i assume more than 30 employees other 4 foreigners on a work permits. I started work when company was small and had only "piece of paper" contract with my responsibilities only, i assume not legal anyways. I have a work permit, salary paid by bank transfer every month. Things are going south with the business and i am looking for exit strategy. Here it goes:
1. am i considered a full time employee even without contract and eligible for severance package once laid of or made myself discharge?
2. they pay third party to process my work permit, but make me pay for my yearly visa (it's a very steep price). Am i responsible for payment for processing a visa or company is?
3. should i ask to have employment contract signed now? is it illegal to work without formal contract, or company breaking the law by having me with no legal employment contract?
4. statutory holidays? i have to work. only have 1 day a week off. should i ask for stat holidays leave? ask to be paid for working on holidays?
5. I am 58 and plan to retire as soon as i turn 60 if i still have a job by that time. am i eligible for severance pay?
All help appreciated. as i said, i searched here, on the internet and read about Employee Protection Code, so i am not a complete idiot in this field. my questions are more about real life situation. Piece.
