Monthly Minimum Wage Amount For Staff To Qualify For Wp ,

[TigerWan]

Did try searching for this..

I understand I need 4 workers to qualify for my foreigner WP

Do they all need to be paid a minimum?

An accountant tells me 8000, Is this correct?

Do they all need to work full time? If I pay for two part timers does that count for one person, full time?

Thanks ,

Right now the minimum is 6,250 but on April 1 it will be higher. It depends on what province you are located in, you can check the new minimum wages here:

They can work part time but must be paid the minimum salary as if they worked full time.

You need 4 people getting at least the minimum salary. Sometimes the labor officer will want to see at least one Thai getting more than the minimum.

No its not in the law but the officer has the discretion to grant the work permit. They have been known to ask for one or more to get paid higher than the minimum. For instance if you had a position of secretary who is college educated there is no way you could find one to work for minimum wage and the Officer would know that whereas the minimum wage would be acceptable for 4 laborers or factory workers.
