Final Salary Payment

[chefseph]

Gave my resignation with notice and was accepted.

 

Last working day is on the 20th of this month.  

 

Employer wants to pay my final salary on the 31st as this is normal company policy. 

 

Do I have the right to request to be paid on my last working day?  

 

I will be flying out of Thailand before the 31st and I want to make sure all monies are paid correctly before I leave.

 

Thanks.

You do have the right to ask, and the company has the right to say no.

 

As long as they pay you the normal way there is nothing you can do about it.

I hope you didn't tell them you were leaving the country on the 31st?

I checked with the Labour office - they are required by law to pay within 3 days of termination.  

 

Once they heard me mention Labour office they agreed.

 

Shame that after 2 years of working happily here, I had to resort to threats though.

Thank you for the update. I didn't know that.
