這波持續性的疫情在東南亞無一倖免，在泰國也是動不動就是上萬例，公司也在討論針對泰國地區的同仁進行資遣方案討論，下面就泰國勞工保護法規定，跟大家分享~
目前依據泰國法令2021年7月13日的內閣會議通過COVID-19的補助措施，因應根據第 27 號緊急命令第 9條發布的關閉營業場所的命令而導致的封城，所受影響的雇主才可以不依照泰國勞工保護法的規定給付員工資遣費，其餘的狀況都是需要給付資遣費的。
而法規中2019年勞工保護條例(Thailand’s Labour Protection Act (No.7)修正原勞動法(Labour Protection Act of 1998)，給付員工的資遣費是會依照員工的工作年資累加。
參照1998年勞動條例第118條後段(Labour Protection Act of 1998)提到有關解雇賠償的給付應該屬於雇主不願意員工繼續工作且不給付員工薪資情形，所以雖然是因為COVID-19導致雇主無力經營，但只要不是因為被政府通知停業者。都需要給付員工資遣費。
第118條後段
Termination of employment under this Section means any action by which an
employer does not allow the employee to continue to do work and does not pay wages to the employee, regardless of whether the cause is the cessation of the employment agreement or another cause, and the meaning also covers cases where an employee does not do work and is not paid wages because an employer is unable to continue business operations.此法律所指的「解雇」意指：雇主不讓員工繼續工作且不再發放工資。理由可為：勞雇合約期滿或其它原因，包括雇主無力經營使員工失業及領不到工資。
