EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Employment agreements are legal contracts that establish a formal employer-employee relationship and should not be contrary to the labor laws. Therefore, a professional advice is always recommended.
In Thailand, employment agreements are not required to be in writing to be valid. However, a written agreement provides a framework for the employment relationship and covers all the terms and conditions the employer and employee should follow. Having a written contract in place can be useful at a later point in time to avoid unnecessary disputes.

The date when the contract was made
