The Amendment of the Alien Employment Act (2008)
– Systematizes workforce participation of migrant workers by prohibiting an employer from hiring migrant workers who do not have licenses to work with the employer. An employer who violates this law shall be subject to a fine of 10,000-100,000 baht (285-2,857 USD) per migrant worker. The Act also states that migrants along border areas who have travel documents under the Immigration Act shall be allowed to temporarily work in the area around the border. In addition, to ensure the safe repatriation of migrant workers, the Act requires that an employer must make deductions from a migrant worker’s salary to contribute to a repatriation fund. The Act also calls for an Alien Employment Committee to be set up in order to develop policies regarding alien employment and monitor the implementation progress of these policies.
Hi.
I resigned to Anuban Lampang School and I asked a certificate of employment but they refused to give me.
Thank you
