Banky Bee Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Hello everyone, I have been legally working for Thai company, for a few years already. Currently some company, which is not my employer, would like to hire me to do a one-time project for them. We have discussed payment terms, and they mentioned, that they will deduct 3% Withholding tax when transferring money to me. That means, I will need to declare an extra income in Revenue department, when submitting ภ.ง.ด. 91 tax form next year. This form next goes to Labor department for Work Permit renewal. My question is, if it's going to bring any legal issue with Labor department to me ? Appreciate for sharing your experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you don't do something which will jeopardize your main job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's not only about the payment. It's also about someone pointing a finger: he works there without work permit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Many employers don't allow their employees to do any other jobs." - Especially if it's a business competitor? - Using time and energy (and perhaps resources) which should be devoted to the main employer.

CrunchWrapSupreme Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 My school was happy to hear about my online teaching, as they felt guilty about having to cut my salary in October, when English camps usually happen, but couldn't due to Covid. But your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such things as trust are Employed to an Employee when they sign a Contract of work, and you may well be seen as breaching that trust.

That could be a problem if the 2nd job was a competitor of the company you were working for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iffy Ground me thinks Also depends on the nature/role involved. - Some jobs require the position holder to do a lot of thinking/create and innovate/gain improvements in the attractiveness of the product or service/gain additional revenues and margins and gain cost improvements. And probably meaning serious targets to be achieved. That's the nature/role/ouputs expected and it's probably not a 9 to 5 position and that's well known by all parties. And very probably means higher salary and benefits. In this case the employer would likely be quite upset if the employee is working another job.
