Job Contract Question...

[Templeton]

if I have a contract stating I should be paid X amount at a tax rate of x% but the employer is paying less than the contractually agreed upon amount, does anyone know if the labor board would help? 

 

For example, (numbers are not real) let's say I'm getting paid 28,000 baht a month but my contract states I am being paid 38,000 a month and the tax rates differ too, do I have a case here in Thailand? Contract is signed by all parties....

 

I have tried to research but can't seem to find any explanation about this specific item.

I have seen postings here and elsewhere indicating that provided you have a Work Permit and put your complaint in writing, The Dept. of Labour is quite helpful. Some have said that they will start with a phone call, which itself might be enough to solve the problem.
