Choosing how to employ
Incorporation or an employer of record? We compare cost, control and risk for the stage you are at.
Employment & Labour
Hire, manage and part ways with your team the right way
Thai labour law protects employees strongly. We help you set up contracts and work rules that hold, and handle difficult situations before they become disputes.
This is for you if
- You are hiring your first employees in Thailand, directly or through an employer of record
- You need contracts, work rules or policies that comply with Thai law
- You have a performance, discipline or misconduct issue to handle
- You need to terminate an employee or restructure a team

What head office often misses about Thai labour law
Under the Labour Protection Act, most terminations without serious misconduct trigger statutory severance pay of 30 to 400 days of wages depending on length of service, on top of notice. Companies with 10 employees or more must have work rules in Thai. Unfair dismissal claims go to the Labour Court.
We give you practical advice for each step, from the offer letter to the end of employment, with templates in Thai and English.
What we do for you
Hiring employees
Offer letters, employment contracts, probation, and the rules for local and foreign employees, in Thai and English.
Managing employees
Work rules, policies, performance management, warnings and disciplinary procedures that stand up in court.
Termination and restructuring
The legal procedure, notice, severance and settlement agreements, so the end of employment does not become a claim.

Frequently asked questions
How much severance do I have to pay in Thailand?
Statutory severance ranges from 30 days of wages after 120 days of service to 400 days after 20 years, unless the dismissal is for serious misconduct as defined by law. Notice or pay in lieu of notice is due as well.
Should I use an employer of record or set up a company?
An employer of record is quick for one or two people while you test the market. A Thai company gives you control, lets you sponsor work permits directly and becomes cheaper as the team grows. We compare both for your case.
