Minimising unfair termination risks in Thailand

Quick Summary:

Thailand is generally not known to be a litigious country, yet when it comes to labour related disputes, it’s a different story.

Thailand is known to be a “pro-employee” jurisdiction, meaning the labour protection laws are very protective of employees and termination of employees without good reasons are generally frowned upon by the Courts (as well as culturally).

When termination is due to redundancy, reorganisation, or restructuring due to improvements or changes in machinery or technology, the employer must notify the termination date, reason for termination, and names of the affected employees to the labour inspection officer and the employees at least 60 days before the termination date.
