Yes. We manage Social Security Fund contributions (5% of salary from the employer, subject to a monthly wage cap), along with progressive personal income tax withholding. We also calculate statutory severance pay, which in Thailand scales up to 400 days’ wages for employees with 20 or more years of service, one of the more generous severance formulas in Southeast Asia.

A 13th month bonus, while customary rather than legally mandated, is a strong market expectation in Thailand, alongside private health insurance (which supplements the Social Security Fund’s medical benefits) and provident fund contributions above the statutory minimum. Thailand’s growing shared-services and tourism sectors both compete actively on these extras.

Notice must generally be given at least one full pay cycle in advance (commonly interpreted as one month), and statutory severance is due based on tenure, scaling from 30 days’ pay for over 120 days of service up to 400 days’ pay for 20 or more years. Thai labor law is protective of employees, and severance is owed even for redundancy-based terminations.

An EOR can typically onboard within one to two weeks for Social Security Fund registration, compared with the several weeks to a couple of months needed to incorporate a Thai entity and register with the Revenue Department and Social Security Office, particularly where foreign ownership restrictions apply.

Thailand’s generous, tenure-scaled severance formula and its foreign ownership restrictions on certain business activities make an EOR a practical way to hire without navigating incorporation and local shareholding requirements. An EOR carries the compliance liability while you access Thailand’s cost-competitive shared-services talent.
