HamburgToBKK Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hello everyone, I'm employed as a teacher at a public school in Thailand. Today I have been told that I have to work tomorrow. Am I entitled to additional pay (since tomorrow is a public holiday) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt1591 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 "Extra pay" is typically reserved for day workers. Our security guard gets pay and a half today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericthai Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 You need to check you're contract. If you are entitled to pay you can contact the labor department. The Labor department in Thailand is very strong and works on behalf of the employee. At our factory if workers work on a holiday we have to pay holiday pay. PS the labor department works just as hard for expats as they do for Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are entitled to leave on 13 national holidays per year (plus another 6 days of vacation), but as there are more than 13 national holidays, you will find yourself working on what is considered a holiday. Only if you get vacation on less than 13 public holidays would you be entitled to overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
