How it works

How we run the matter

  1. Review of existing employment documents and practices
  2. Identify the gaps that create real exposure
  3. Rewrite documents and advise on process
  4. Train the managers who apply them
  5. Represent the employer if a claim is filed

Documents to prepare

  • Employment contracts in current use
  • Workplace rules or employee handbook
  • Payroll and attendance records
  • Any warning letters or termination notices issued

Common questions

Only to the extent they meet Thai minimum standards. Group policies usually need a Thailand-specific layer rather than a direct translation.
Before the warning letter, not after the claim. Most labour cases are decided by documents created months earlier.
