I work for a Thai company and we're only entitled
to 6 days Annual Leave a year. Most of my colleagues working for
international companies say they're allowed 12 days leave. Can it
vary that much??
This will vary depending on what your company has decided upon
with HR and Management and in many cases may be less than 12 days,
also may be dependent and accumulated on a pro rata basis and also
what is stated and agreed upon by you and your employer in your
employment contract and how long you've been working with the company.

Is the amount of sick days the same for each company?
Employees are entitled up to a maximum of 30 days sick leave
per year. Note that this does not apply to all companies as many
will have their own number of days as agreed upon by HR and Management.
In many cases, if more than 2 days are taken consecutively, you
may be asked to provide a medical certificate. Also it tends to
look suspicious if you fall sick on a Friday or a Monday...for obvious
reasons! |
