HR and payroll services in Thailand
Thailand does not present many challenges when it comes to human resources, but there are a number of regulations that must be abided by. Every employer in Thailand needs to be registered with the Social Security Fund, which covers payments in cases of sickness, disability, death, maternity leave, child support and retirement.
If you are looking to recruit foreigners, you will find that first preference is given to recruiting a Thai national who is equally qualified to fill a specific role. According to the Thai Labour Law, there must be four local national employees for every one foreigner and every foreign employee must comply with visa requirements and obtain a work permit prior to starting work in Thailand.
Our clients consider us a trusted and knowledgeable partner, and our intimate local knowledge has helped many businesses thrive in Thailand.
The TMF Group Thailand team can help you with the following HR and payroll services:
- Calculation and payment of payroll
- Electronic reporting solutions to securely manage global data and payment process
- Implementation of HR policies and terms into local contracts and procedures
- Employment contract preparation and execution
- Facilitation of relocation requirements including work permits, employment passes, dependent passes, visit passes and permanent resident status
