What our happy customers say
Asanify's, should be the number 1 choice for companies looking to pay their overseas employees and contractors. I have a team of 40 people in India and not for a single month have i experienced any delays in the payment process.
In my business, things happen fast, and requirement for new employees is sudden. In such a situation a trusted partner like Asanify comes in handy as I know I can quickly ramp with onboarding and employee formalities diligently taken care of.
As a global company, we go through M&As in countries where we do not have presence. In India, we quickly onboarded ~30 employees as part of a takeover. With Asanify's turnaround time the overall change was managed brilliantly.
Asanify’s expertise when it comes to Local Compliances is something I have benefitted extensively from. Whether its Employee-Contractor classification, or the local laws for employee benefits and working hours - I trust the guidance provided.
Apart from using EOR services, I find a lot of value in the fully automated Asanify HRMS. For me, it makes it absolutely comfortable that I can access all my HR inforation anytime, anywhere and on any platform - Slack, Whatsapp etc.
My employees are in India, while I am based in Dubai and the co. in the US. Managing time zones is a huge challenge for us. Working with global partners like Asanify ensures that all my payments, and query resolutions are done in time.
It is paramount that my employees are well taken care of. Asanify goes above and beyond In terms of employee benefits, salary structuring to make it more tax friendly and constant guidance. For over a year with Asanify’s EOR, I have had no reason to feel disappointed.
Employer of Record FAQs in Thailand
What is an Employer of Record in Thailand?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Thailand is a registered entity that becomes the legal employer for your workforce, managing all employment responsibilities including contracts, payroll, tax withholding, Social Security Fund contributions, and compliance with Thai labor regulations. This allows you to hire talent in Thailand without establishing a Thai limited company while you maintain day-to-day management of work activities.
How quickly can I hire employees in Thailand through Asanify?
With Asanify’s EOR service, you can hire Thai employees within 3-5 business days for local nationals. For foreign employees requiring work permits and visas, the timeline extends to 4-8 weeks depending on nationality and documentation. We handle all employment documentation, Social Security registration, and onboarding processes to ensure the fastest possible deployment.
What are the mandatory employment benefits in Thailand?
Thai law requires Social Security Fund coverage (5% each from employer and employee on wages up to 15,000 THB), minimum 6 days annual leave (increasing with tenure), 13 public holidays, sick leave (up to 30 days paid), maternity leave (90 days), and severance pay based on years of service. Asanify’s EOR ensures all statutory benefits are provided in full compliance with the Labor Protection Act.
How does payroll work in Thailand?
Thai payroll is processed monthly with payment typically by the end of each month. Asanify calculates salaries in Thai Baht, withholds personal income tax according to progressive rates (0-35%), deducts employee Social Security contributions (5% up to 750 THB), processes employer contributions (5% up to 750 THB), and ensures timely payment through Thai banking channels with proper documentation.
What is the Social Security Fund in Thailand?
The Social Security Fund (SSF) is Thailand’s mandatory social protection system providing coverage for medical care, disability, death, child allowance, old age, and unemployment. Both employer and employee contribute 5% of wages (capped at 15,000 THB, maximum 750 THB each). Asanify manages all SSF registrations, monthly contributions, and compliance reporting as part of our EOR service.
Can I terminate an employee in Thailand through an EOR?
Yes, Asanify manages compliant terminations in Thailand following Labor Protection Act requirements. This includes providing proper notice (based on payment cycle and tenure), calculating severance payments (ranging from 30 days’ to 400 days’ wages depending on service length), processing final payments including unused leave, and ensuring all procedural requirements are met to minimize legal disputes.
What are the tax obligations for employees in Thailand?
Thailand uses a progressive personal income tax system with rates from 0% to 35% based on annual income brackets. Asanify withholds income tax monthly from employee salaries, submits withholding tax (PND 1) to the Revenue Department, provides employees with tax documentation, and ensures compliance with Thailand’s tax year (January-December) and annual reconciliation requirements.
Does using an EOR in Thailand create permanent establishment risk?
Asanify’s EOR service is structured to minimize permanent establishment (PE) risk in Thailand. We act as the legal employer while you direct work activities. However, PE assessment depends on various factors including physical presence, contract authority, and business activities. We recommend consulting tax advisors for comprehensive PE evaluations specific to your Thai operations and business model.
What types of employment contracts are used in Thailand?
Thailand recognizes indefinite-term contracts (most common), fixed-term contracts (for specific projects or temporary work), and specific task contracts. Asanify prepares legally compliant contracts in Thai and English that include all mandatory provisions covering compensation, working hours (8 hours/day, 48 hours/week standard), benefits, leave entitlements, and termination conditions aligned with the Labor Protection Act.
