Under the Social Security System all are intiteled to an allowance upon unemployment as well as an allowance upon retirement

My question now relates to the allowance upon unemployment. The provision says that all are entitled to a

max. allowance, depending on salary etc, of thb 15.000,00 per month. How to look at this when usually a foreigner needs te leave the country within 7 days after he is unemployed?? How can he get the allowance he is entitled to.

Just out of curiousity, Sunbelt??Anybody??

You must work at least 180 months to be entitled to get a monthly payment. If you work less, you are entitled to get a lump sum of the monthly amounts paid by you and the employer (750 + 750 = 1,500 Baht = per year 18,000). If we assume you were working for 5 years, you are entitled to get Baht 90,000 + some interest.

Your employer has to do all the necessary paper work!

I read the following

In case of termination of employment:

- Unemployment benefit for not more 180 days per year at the rate of 50 % of the wage calculated on the basis of maximum contributions of 15,000 Bah

which is a different calculation and which refers to a period and not to a lumpsum

and my question is that if it is NOT a lumpsum, are you entitled to stay???

Why should you be entitled to stay when your work permit is cancelled and after 7 days your visa will expire?

It's impossible to claim anything from the Social security without the collaboration of your employer. In a "7 days" case chances to get anything is more than slim.

A friend of mine worked for ten years for a Thai company. He had problems with the boss and was eventually fired. His Thai wife told him that he was entitled to a separation payment that the company refused to give him. To make a long story short, he eventually received one months pay for each year worked. I have no idea if this is a normal thing or just that particular set of circumstances.

This severance payment of one month per year worked is something an employee is entitled to as he is to the unemployment allowance

The unemploymency allowance is only introduced in 2004.....but if you do not ask, you will not receive I guess

I agree with you, therefore my question

I the way I read the article it seems you are entitled to a montly payment for a max of 180 days.

The pupose of my question is to find a legalmway to stay longer than the usual 7 days by cliaming the unemploymency allowance

I am just curious how others and specialists look at this
