Baaksida Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I failed the probation in my current position, bad luck!! But I still have some disputes with my boss... I have a one-year contract, probation of 120 days with full pay. My boss gave me the boot yesterday. My question is: am I still employed, i.e. does he have to tell me, that he will not "renew" the work contract on the ... a) ... last day or within the probation period. Or ... ... can he tell me on the121st day, that I failed the probation ?? If a) applies, I may still have a job, having time to look for a new one... (I started on May 26, but may work contract starts on June 1 ... 30 days (June) + 31 (July) + 31 (August) + 19 (September) = 121 days (one day too late!) ... But if applies, of course I would be without a job. Anybody, who knows the labour laws ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbelt Asia Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Sorry but your ex-boss knows the laws very well. You did not work on the 121st day so have no rights. You did work 120 days and your probation ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baaksida Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 How about IF I worked on the 121st day ?? He told me when I came from work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexlowe Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 To the best of my knowledge (which is pretty limited, I admit), there is no such thing as a "probation period" for farangs (I believe,in fact, that it's also illegal for Thais). If you are hired under these circumstances, then technically your company is breaking the law -- they cannot hire a farang without the due process of a work permit application and approval, which can take up to 2 months. In other words, your company is employing you illegally -- so don't expect any sympathy from the Labour Department people (anyway, they're all well taken care of and don't give a s**t about farangs). And as for your contract -- it's worth less than the paper you wipe your *** on. Sorry Baaksida (which is the Lao equivalent of "farang"), you're screwed, or wiped, as the case may be. There is a web site that has the labour laws in English, but I don't have it at the moment. If you IM me, I will try to find it over the next few days. Cheers. Dex.
