Labor Management Thailand Bangkok

In general, Thai labor laws provide for considerable freedom in managing labor, and unions are not very effective.

Further, the government does not interfere with a company’s retrenchment policies when economic conditions necessitate cutbacks. There is no “first in, last out” requirement in Thailand.

Similarly, Thai employers have the right to transfer employees to other work locations, provided the transfer is not ordered with the exclusive intent to create hardship on them. Refusal to transfer is legal cause for dismissal.
