Wp Req. No Part Time Employees?

[MacChine]

Hi and thanks for this opportunity for counsel

Have been following this question on the SME forum and the direct to this thread .

Can I ask for clarification?

Paying workers a minimum of TH B 9000 a month is 450 day for 5 day work week.

So one cannot hire minimum wage workers? Or it seems paying less means forcing workers on 6 day weeks.

I think people need 2 days off.

Seems the rules makes it difficult to attract quality workers- and treat them well. I pay two workers 650 / day this as they won;t work for less and they deserve it, so

Cannot hire part time workers, say even if paying THB 600- 700?

So paying 4 mediocre workers mediocre wages, forcing 6 day week and watching and correction constantly, instead of two good workers 600- 700 is the rule?

I have to renew WP in 3 months and seems i won't be able to.

I am wondering about letting WP go, hire the two good workers I can use, make one a manager and actually enjoy a little profit and sanity.

Can I still own the company ( it is Amity ) on retirement?

The requirement is that you have four workers and that you pay them a minimum of 9000 Baht a month. There is no requirement as to how many hours they work. If you want four part time employees that is acceptable but they still must be paid 9000 Baht a month each as well, of course, as pay into the social fund on each one.

You can own or be a director,signing or non signing, without a work permit as long as you are not working inside Thailand. If you are a signing director and need to sign documents without a work permit you must be outside Thai borders when you sign as you have no work permit and this is considered working The date of the document and your passport exit stamp from Thailand would be the evidence you need to show that you did not violate that condition.
