Deez Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Does anyone know how long a company in thailand must give employees between shifts? My wife is regularly asked to finish work at 12 and start again at 8. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 the question might be clearer in 24h format, i.e. do you mean 12:00 and 20:00 or 00:00 and 08:00, 00:00 and 20:00... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think the more pertinent question is, what industry is the OP's wife in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She finishes work @ 2400 and is tarts next shift @ 0800. So only 8 hours between. She works @ Uni Qlo. a clothing chain. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wow she works 16hrs a day ? Standard week is 48hrs with a max of 8 hrs per day... anything over must be paid as overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt1591 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 There are Thai labor laws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 She's regularly asked to do this or is she rostered to do this? 16 hour days, whilst not illegal does require consent. There's also nothing illegal about 8 hour minimums, Australia up until recently in some industries was 8 and is now 10, again, with consent this can be waived by mutual agreement. I can't find specifics to it (minimum rest between shifts) in the Labour Protection Act but there are mentions of overtime rates and maximum daily hours (12) Again, consent needs to be mutual and can't be forced. Is your girlfriend getting OT for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) What does Australia have to do with working hours in Thailand ? Sweet Fanny Adams, mentioned it by means of a comparison... The rest of it was related to Thailand. Edited January 2, 2014 by GrantSmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest, as I said, was regarding Thai Labour and relating to the Labour Protection Act. Apologies that I didn't spoon feed it to you, thought, being a hansum man such as yourself would be capable of putting the 2 together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deez Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks for the replies. Not working 16 hour shifts, but shifts start and finish at different times. e.g.... 2-midnight one day and 8-530 the next. She does get overtime so its not all bad.
