You can pay contractors now in Thailand with Outstaffer. Note that we are busy building our own entity in Thailand to provide you with the best possible employment solutions for your employees, but our employer of record service is not yet live in this country.
To employ in Thailand, companies must own a local legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solution. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Thailand can get complicated fast, especially without localized expertise.
Looking to employ workers in Australia? Companies hiring in Australia must either own a legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solutions provider, usually one that provides employer of record services.
Outstaffer makes it easy for companies of all sizes to employ workers in Australia using our employer of record solution. We can help employ your Australian team using our local Australian entity, as well as handle your payroll, benefits, taxes, and local legal compliance.
Thailand’s Labor Protection Act of 1998 spells out provisions for employee protections and workers’ rights designed to fight inequality and safeguard Thailand’s workforce of 38.4 million. Employees in Thailand enjoy protections against discrimination based on age, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, and race.
Thailand, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time workers differently and there are risks associated with misclassification.
There are 16 public holidays.

Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Outstaffer platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. We have a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Employees are entitled to 6 days off annually after working an entire year for an employer, or a prorated number of days for the duration worked, i.e., roughly 1 day per 2 months worked.
There are 16 public holidays.
Outstaffer must allow an employee to take sick leave for as long as the sickness actually lasts and must pay the employee their wage for a day of sick leave at a rate equal to the wage for a normal working day for the entire period of time taken as sick leave, but not exceeding 30 working days each year.
For medical leave of three working days or more, the employer may require the employee to produce a medical certificate from a doctor or from a government medical facility. When the employee is unable to produce a medical certificate from a doctor of first class modern medicine or from a government medical facility, the employee shall give an explanation.
Female employees are entitled to 98 days of maternity leave, with the first 45 days paid for by the employer, and the rest compensated by the government social security fund.
Pregnant employees can request assignment to less strenuous duties to help maintain their health.
Although government employees are entitled to 15 days of paternity leave annually, there are no provisions under Thai employment law for private employees to take time off work for parental or paternity leave.
Employees can take unpaid time off work to undergo training related to their work, or to undergo government-mandated skills assessment programs.
Employee contracts can be terminated if a just cause is established, such as dishonesty, negligence, fraud, or any other work-related offences, without any obligation to make severance payments.
Employees who’ve been employed for less than 120 days can be terminated without cause or any obligation to make severance payments.
The employer must ordinarily give advance notice of at least one full payment cycle (i.e 30 days), which is legally required for indefinite contracts; but no more than 3 months, unless the contract/ work rules provide for a longer period.
If an employee is terminated without just cause are entitled to a severance package equivalent to their tenure with the employer.
