Phatcharanan Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I think I read somewhere in a Thai Labour Law document that for full time employees they are entitled to a minmum 30 days paid sick? Is this correct and does this apply to teacher contracts (1st year) where the contract states only ............2 days . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Patch what ever your contract sez. at my school if you have 3 days off at once and do not contact the school you are dismissed. law or not they will follow the contract. normally if over 3 days you must have a doctors letter (200 baht) Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryLH Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 "... if you have 3 days off at once and do not contact the school you are dismissed. law or not they will follow the contract." That's pretty much what the law says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 My recently signed contract with a government school provided for up to 15 days of sick pay annually. The only stipulation was that any illness of 5 consecutive working days or more requires a "doctors excuse". I sumize the 5 day clause is to keep you from taking a 9 day vacation by merely calling off. I also wouldn't think of being a no-call, no show at any job I wanted to keep and really don't understand people who would think otherwise. Regards.

TerryLH Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 "...they are entitled to a minmum 30 days paid sick..." I think it actually says "up to" 30 days, not a mimimum of 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijustwannateach Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yes, you can have the sick days, but if there will be many of them you will need a doctor's note. There are also 'personal/office' days, which are used to go to weddings, graduations, and other important family and friend-related events. However, your usage of these things can influence decisions about raises, contract renewals, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
