Good day to all.

I am not sure if my question is here at the correct place, however I hope you can give me your thoughts since I tried to find answers without success.

 

My question is:

- what documents does employer need to employee after been made redundant.......

 

I suppose  the employer needs to give a reference letter and a letter stating how much taxes have been paid during the period of employment?

Are there any other documents the employer has to hand over to me?

 

My employer stopped my contract 2 days ago, with a 30 days notice term.

So far I have received NO information from their side....

Work permit will be cancelled after the 30 days notice from their side, at least that is what they have mentioned.

Does that give me 7 days to leave Thailand?

 

Any help and information from your side is welcome.

 

Regards and thanks!

The most important thing you employer needs to give you is a letter stating the date you will no longer be working so that you can cecal your extension of stay at immigration. You can go to immigration a few days before that date and immigration will postdate the cancellation to that date which would allow you time to leave the country. Or you could apply for a  7 day extension, pay 1900 baht and be granted 7 days to leave the country.

Thanks so much for your prompt reply Ubonjoe.

 

So there should not been an overview given regarding the taxes I paid during the period I worked for the company?

I remember I had been given a letter like that in the past by a previous employer.

Any other info or documents to obtain from their side which might be needed for my eventual next job?

 

Thanks for your assistance.

 

If you are leaving on friendly terms they should give you whatever you ask for.

You can ask for a copy of your tax payments, which you will need if you submit a PND91.

 

The most important thing to consider is: are you entitled to severance pay? How long have you worked there?

And also unemployment benefit, if you have made enough Social fund payments

Thank you all for your replies and info given.

The period of working has been only 11 months,so less than 1 year.

 

Thanks

Art. 118 LPA
The amount of severance pay depends on the length of service, as follows:
- 120 days but less than 1 year: 30 days' wages 
- 1 year but less than 3 years: 90 days' wages 
- 3 years but less than 6 years: 180 days' wages
- 6 years but less than 10 years: 240 days' wages
- more than 10 years: 300 days' wages.
This does not apply to employees who have a fixed term contract of employment and whose employment is terminated in accordance at the end of the specified term. 

In addition according to art 119 LPA, as amended by LPA-No2 of 2008 (art.18), severance shall not be paid by the employer if the dismissal was the result of a serious misconduct of the employee.
(The LPA lists the following cases:
"(1) performing his/her duty dishonestly or intentionally committing a criminal offence against the employer;
(2) willfully causing damage to the employer;
(3) committing negligent acts causing serious damage to the employer;
(4) violating work rule, regulation or order of the employer which is
lawful and just, and after written warning having been given by the employer, except for a serious case with no requirement for the Employer to give warning.
(5) absenting himself/herself from duty without justifiable reason for
three consecutive working days regardless of whether there is holiday in between;
(6) being sentenced to imprisonment by a final court judgment")

Thanks muzmurray....

 

30 days is what they will pay.

 

Thanks again.
