Torrens54 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Well, Up Your Kilt Jock! Hope your Dangling Bits get bitten by a Cobra, you mean and nasty penny-pincher. Notice in your opening line, you say you've been paying her "2000 Baht a Month" If this is the case, she ought to have you up before the Labor Office at City Hall to "haul your Scottish Butt over some red hot coals." What a miserable S.O.B you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williet98248 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Cleaning is a minimum wage job. 300 baht a day for every day worked. 5 days = 1500. 6 days = 1800. If you pay monthly should be 9000. This is the minimum but feel free to pay more. I paid my hk 500 for 4hours once a week. She wasn't worth it but never mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOUTHERNSTAR Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Breaking the law are you. If she is a fulltime employee she has the right to a day off every week (with pay). You are supposed to pay her B 300 per day which works out B 9000 in a 30 day month and B 109 500 per year (365 x B 300). Karma is a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 It's amazing how desperately some poorly educated farang are to demonstrate their superior intelligence ...and how they end up proving just the opposite. "been getting 2000 baht a month for a couple of years. " "Even Thais with degrees think there are 4 weeks in a year." Even for a troll post this is a half-a__ed job.

dotpoom Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) OP says ..."Even Thais with degrees think there are 4 weeks in a year". Sorry to disappoint you....even "she who must be obeyed" knows there are a few more than that in a year. But at least your worker is getting more than the 2000 Bt. a month you said you were giving her in you opening sentence. .

Popular Post Suradit69 Posted March 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Thais think there are 48 weeks in the year - ask you significant other how many weeks in a year. Just asked her . She said "don't you know"? I replied, "yes I do but someone posting on TV believes Thais don't know! " Her reply " Typical ! Is it a Frarang? Tell whoever,they are a *********************** . The Farang can count the weeks on a calender so can Thais " So what number did she up with? My wife didn't know, even my Boss didn't know and ALL the Thais, unless they've been educated abroad, I have asked said 48. My wife also said don't know but have 12 months in a year and every month have 4 weeks so 12 * 4 = 48 weeks in a year. I asked, how many days in a year, 365 she said, so 365 / 7 = 52.1 weeks 52 weeks and a little bit which we fix with 29 days in February every 4 years.. OK she said,only February have 28 days, all the other months have 2 or 3 more days. A bit like pulling teeth and I expect that by tomorrow it will be 48 weeks per year again as you originally said. (Battelly in head, mot leao!) I did think is was funny that you posted 2,000 / month and conned her into accepting 8,500 / month. LOL and I love the posts that chastise you for conning your maid! (They ain't got no sense of humour and they Tink too mut! LOL) "My wife also said don't know but have 12 months in a year and every month have 4 weeks so 12 * 4 = 48 weeks in a year." "(They ain't got no sense of humour and they Tink too mut! LOL)" Just for laughs ask her why she thinks you had to come to Thailand to find someone willing to marry you.

wolfmanjack Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 9k a month is minimum wage.Based on how many days? It's based on 30 days, which you are required to pay after the 90 (120?) day probation. So a full time employee that works 5 days a week is paid for 30 days, the same as someone who works 6 days a week. But of course you already know all of this. It depends if you pay by the day or by the month and what your employee contract says. When I first opened my factory I paid by the month and had to go by the paid sick days and holidays etc etc. I then switched to paying by the day and started paying only for time spent at work. That has been a few years now though so maybe things have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can deduct for sick days without a doctor's excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said though it may be different now but I ran my factory for 12 years and the only problem I had with the labor department was when my wife I had at the time fired 3 employees without giving them warnings before firing them. The labor department went through my records and matched what I was paying with the employee contracts and had no problems with me doing it that way.
