Thanks @MJCM for the swift response. How do you access the above screen in the app please as I can't see it in settings.

I have an SCB Promprcard Mastercard which is supposed to be a debit card. However, when I try to buy things online - e.g. airline tickets and other subscriptions it always seems to decline. Starting to think it's not a true debit card like my UK debit card and hence retailers decline it. Does anyone else have any issues with online payments using this or similar cards. Starting to think I might need a Thai credit card. I have a UK one but I want to use my Thai account as the transaftions are in THB. Thanks in advance.

Congrats Udon Lady

So how come you ended up being a United fan?

We, like most football fans aren't interested in market value, we are interested in challenging for trophies. I think that's where the Glazers strategy, if you can call them having a strategy differs. Losing Rudiger is a huge body blow but I still feel we will recruit a good replacement albeit not quite as good as Rudiger who will be infinitely better than Maguire. Let's disect the United team like they did on Sky Sports last week when Gary Neville said not one United player would get into the Liverpool team. How many would get into the City team? None, possibly Ronaldo for a few months, not Rashford on this year's form. Likewise Chelsea, just Ronaldo for 6 months possibly you could argue for DDG. Thinking about it how many would get into Newcastle's team....... Keep focusing on market value please ...keep up the good work. We will look forward to welcoming Connor back which is like having a free £50m signing....????????

The Accountant in me would say a fully depreciated one but then again it's still your asset so not quite the same as here the asset can go walkies.....

Worst penalty I've seen for a long time, need to get rid of Jorghino get Connor in next season, need to be more dynamic and energetic. Sell him to Juve or Lazio where he's more suited. Shame nobody wants Barkley.

Very sloppy start by us. Wake up Chels

I agree with all your points above. Christensen's form has dropped off a cliff since he agreed his Barcelona move. I don't think we should play him again unless absolutely necessary, I prefer Chalobah for sure. Seems Rudiger is more likely to leave than stay according to the press which will be a body blow. Regardless seems we are pursuing Kounde. I would like to see us get rid of Barkley too - he's priority one for an exit, prefer to keep RLC. We still have Bakayoro (not sure on the spelling!). Seems Haaland is all set for City, and Lukaku has been a disaster - his attitude looks very poor. Hoping the PSG rumours are true and we can offload him! Wouldn't mind getting Nunez from Benfica. Want to keep hold of Werner, Ziyech. Seems Collwell is highly rated, wonder if we will keep him or loan/sell him likewise Broja.....

Agreed but that's not the point.

I had another more specific thread but wanted to start a generic one which woukd be useful for members. Having done further research it would seem clear that an employer must give one of the valid reasons listed in the act in order to dismiss you, and if they don't you are likely to win the case. Is it really that clear-cut, i.e. 100% win in all cases for the employer when the following reasons aren't followed? Said reasons according to the law are: The employee performs his/her duty dishonestly or intentionally committed a criminal offence against the employer. The employee willfully caused damage to the employer. The employee committed negligent acts which caused serious damage to the employer. The employee violated work rules, regulations or orders of the employer which are lawful and just, and after a written warning was given by the employer, except for in serious cases with no requirement for the employer to give warning. The written warning shall be valid for not exceeding one year from the date when the employee committed the offence. The employee was absent from duty without justifiable reason for three consecutive working days regardless of whether there is a holiday in between. The employee was sentenced to imprisonment by a final court judgment. If the imprisonment is for offences committed by negligence or a petty offense, it shall be an offense that causes damage to the employer

Congratulations, very pleased for you. I guess they realised they would lose.

Just wondering if you were successful or not. An old topic but I am a sucker for happy endings ????

I hope so unless I'm a robot or AI of some sort or my account had been hacked........ Not sure why weird? I simply searched the topic read it and found it very interesting but what was missing was the results of posters claims...... Hence my question. What's weird for some is normal for others i guess like eating insects in Thailand... Each to their own I say.

Very interesting thread, kudos to all. It would be interesting if those who ha claims could have said whether they were successful or not so everyone else can understand and learn. Understand the thread is very old now but it's still active, wonder if all the members are....

LOL we don't even have company cars.... we aren't an orginisation with diplomatic immunity but thanks for advising.

Unfair dismissal gives you one extra month per year of employment? Interesting.... Is that documented anywhere as from what I read it said it's up to the court to decide, or is that the average award given. I did read on an old thread someone got given an extra month. I've only been there 20 months. Thanks again.

Thanks for explaining. I am 100% sure they don't have any diplomatic status whatsoever.

Exactly what I said. They can call me a cleaner but it doesn't mean I am cleaning.

Ok, just paid my tax due.

Many thanks for confirming. It seems very clear to me now then that I must be an employee despite what my employer keeps saying and as such I should be covered by employment law, i.e. be covered for severance. For my part-time teaching I don't have a company set-up but my understanding is that this is an exception for such work and I merely pay the balance of tax due at the end of the tax year.

Thanks, I wasn't sure where to post, thought as it was a little bit work permit related perhaps where I posted it. Much appreciated.

Many thanks for the detailed answer. This leads me to be even more convinced that I am an employee and not a consultant in the eyes of Thai employment law. Let's hope so! I did say to them that if I was a consultant they would have had to deduct 3% withtholding tax, etc as what happens when I sometimes do some part-time tutoring and then I submit my returns to the tax office and pay the balance, which is what I need to do today with the 31st March deadline fast approaching!

Thanks. So if my understanding is correct, "consultants" who are issued a work permit and have a valid visa are required to be entered into the social security system in addition to "normal" employees?
