Hi All,

please may I ask for some short facts, while I am still in brain storming phase:

What is the normal period of cancellation for Thai staff? What is the regulation by labour law? (I assume it is just hire and fire).

In case I want to lay off staff do I have to pay any compensation? (I assume, there is no compensation).

What insurrance or pension fee the company has to pay for the staff?

What is the average salary for IT-/Business consaltants in Krung Thep or Chiang Mai/Khon Kaen/Udon. (I assume 20,000 THB/month for the northern region, but I do not know about Krung Thep).

I thank you for any facts and information in advance! Best regards!

Google: "Thailand Labor Law"

Wrong, Thai Labour laws do not allow you to fire at will.

Wrong, there are scales of compensation depending on length of service.

What insurrance or pension fee the company has to pay for the staff?

It's been a while since I dealt with this, but it's not significant, 5 to 10% of salary, payable monthly, from memory.

You'll have to define "IT-/Business consaltant" a bit more.

Thank you very much for answer!

As far as I understood I can lay off staff at any time without any special reason if I just pay a severance payment. No selection process, no limited prolongation of fixed-time contracts.

Ok, I've got that.

Ok, thanks for information.
