how much anual leave do you give your sales staff?

I am looking for a sales and try to make my estimation for salary etc. pp. Now the question is what should be the anual leave of a sales engineer here in Thailand?

Can anyone of the BM give me an idea about that?

Thanks in advance, cheers,

Depends on your employer HR policy. As a foreigner with a large company I would expect 20 days. However minimum legal requirement for Thai's is annual leave of 6 days, excluding public holidays.

Under Section 30 of the Labour Protection Act (LPA), an employee who has worked continuously for one full year shall be entitled to annual leave of not less than six working days. The term "annual leave" refers only to personal vacation time.The employer must fix the employee's annual leave in advance. The law does not require the employee's consent for the employer to do so.
