We all, except the very privileged few, must work to live.
Getting the Employment Contact right, at the start, is crucial for both Employers and Employees, one which is fair and reasonable on both sides and adopts the Labor Laws currently in force.
When things go wrong get advice on the Employment Contract and current Labor Laws before taking action to avoid unnecessary and costly employment disputes.
Are you ‘hiring of firing’ or being ‘hired or fired’.
Employers and their employees, on average spend one third of their waking hours together during the working week.
It is important for this, hopefully, fruitful relationship to flourish and grow.
This benefits both sides but in the real world things can and do go wrong. After all, we are all human.
Taking proper advice whether at the start or the end of that relationship can save heartache, time, expense and often valuable friendships.
So how can we help you?
Minimise the future risks:
We advise employers on
The drafting of employment contracts, employment terms (such as HR and IT policies) and their compatibility with Thai Labor Law, dealing with potential breaches of employment contracts by employees in situations such as theft of company information or other assets, conflicts of interest or other fraudulent activities.
A professionally drafted contract not only protects an employer’s business but also informs the ‘would be’ employee that they are dealing with a ‘fair and reasonable’ future employer. Also, when things do go wrong everyone knows where they stand.
Dealing with termination or other disputes with employees.
We advise employees on
Draft employment contracts and supplemental documents dealing with Restraint of Trade and confidentiality.
Termination/severance agreements often accompanied by a confidentially and Restraint of Trade agreement.
It is essential to fully understand the terms of your employment contract at the start and end of your employment. These documents can often be complex and very onerous, or just badly drafted and ambiguous.
AND more generally, often where a written contract does not exist, rights under verbal employment contracts and current Thai labor laws.
Dealing with termination or other disputes with employers.
When things go wrong-‘the basics’:
Labor / employment law cases involve disputes over rights and duties of employers and employees arising from the employment contract or in relation to current Thai labor laws. Such disputes can be settled between employers and employees through negotiation or through taking the matter to the Thai Labor Court which specializes in and has jurisdiction over disputes between employees and employers.
We will advise either party (but cannot act on both sides) on termination or other disputes between employers and employees and where necessary represent them in Arbitration of Court proceedings.
