Leave Management Services

Six paid working days per calendar year for any employee who has completed one year of continuous service, under LPA Section 30. The 6-day floor cannot be reduced by employment contract — any clause attempting to do so is void. Carry-forward to the next year requires an explicit written agreement; oral arrangements have been repeatedly struck down by the Labour Court. Unused annual leave at termination must be paid out at the regular daily wage rate under LPA Section 67.

At least 13 paid public holidays per year under LPA Section 29, including Labour Day (1 May). The Cabinet's 2026 announcement lists 16 official public holidays, including Songkran (13–15 April), Coronation Day (4 May), and HM the King's Birthday (28 July). Plizz configures the correct calendar in your system before each year starts, including substitution days for holidays falling on weekends — the most common leave-tracking error in foreign-led SME labour inspections.

For 3 or more consecutive sick days under LPA Section 32. For 1–2 days, no certificate can be required as a precondition for pay — Labour Court precedent treats requiring documentation for short absences as an unlawful restriction on a statutory right. Employers may ask employees to notify their manager by a certain time on the day of absence, but payment cannot be withheld for 1–2 day absences without a certificate.

No. LPA Section 32 requires a medical certificate only for absences of 3 or more consecutive days. Requiring documentation for a single sick day — or making payment conditional on producing it — has been repeatedly held by Thai courts to constitute an unlawful restriction on a statutory entitlement. This is a common compliance gap in SMEs that copy international HR policies into Thailand without adjustment.

45 days at full salary under LPA Section 41. Total maternity leave is 98 days: 45 days paid by the employer, 45 days paid by the Social Security Fund at 50% of wages (paid directly to the employee — not an employer expense), and 8 days unpaid. Paternity leave is not a statutory right for private-sector employees under Thai law. Counting maternity leave against annual leave is a common payroll error that constitutes unlawful deduction of a statutory entitlement.

Yes. The Labour Protection Act B.E. 2541 applies regardless of nationality or immigration status. Leave records for work-permit holders also serve as part of the immigration-compliance evidence file — particularly for BOI-promoted companies where the permit holder's role and Thailand presence must be consistent with promotion conditions. Plizz's platform flags work-permit holders for immigration-reconciliation tracking.

Unused statutory annual leave at termination must be paid out at the employee's regular daily wage rate under LPA Section 67. This applies to both voluntary resignation and employer-initiated termination. Unused sick leave and business leave are not payable on termination — they are statutory entitlements, not earned wages. Failure to pay out annual leave balance is a wage-theft finding and triggers criminal liability under LPA Section 71.

You can, but most global tools require Thailand-specific configuration the vendor does not provide natively: the Cabinet-announced public-holiday calendar, the 98-day maternity split between employer and SSO, the LPA Section 34 3-day business leave minimum, and SSO contribution interactions on partial-month pay. Plizz Leave Management is configured for Thai statutory requirements from the ground up and typically layers underneath the parent HRIS as the Thailand-specific compliance module.

When Leave Management is purchased together with Monthly Payroll, the Leave Management monthly recurring fee is discounted 40% across all headcount tiers. For a 20-person company, the standalone fee is THB 120 per employee per month (THB 2,400/month total); bundled with Payroll, it becomes THB 72 per employee per month (THB 1,440/month total) — a saving of THB 960/month. The bundle also eliminates the payroll-leave reconciliation step because both functions run on the same platform.
