Death In Thailand With Assets In Uk

2011-10-20 18:39:34

My husband very recently died in Thailand - he lived very happily over here for 16 years although he kept assets in the UK in a house, endowments and savings. He also has a UK pension. The situation is complicated by him not leaving a will and I am looking to apply for probate asap. My sister has come over from the UK for 8 days and will be leaving Thailand on 27/10/11 and I am hoping to at least make a start at sorting things out.

I am just wondering if anybody else has been through this process and can offer any advice.
Greatly appreciated.

Pheu Thai Victory & The Minimum Wage

2011-07-04 15:28:14

A Pheu Thai pledge is to raise the minimum wage 30% to 300 baht a day, or 9300 baht a month. This is going to have major implications for small and medium business as their payroll will grow dramatically. Staff are likely to be laid off and unemployment will rise, while the increases will drive inflationary pressures in the economy.

How are small business owners planning and preparing for this? As a small business owner myself I simply cannot see how I can keep all current staff on the new pay rate, and they are staff I need and do not want to release. I need a minimum of 4 for the work permit, OK, but what of the others? Will staff incur income tax on 9300 a month? I find it very hard to see how to get around these changes and keep an effective and efficient business.

Firing Staff That Under Perform

2011-02-24 11:48:08

I hired a gardener/driver on the 4th of this month - he has consistently underperformed. Coming late, taking extra long lunch breaks, using the business car for his personal use. In addition he works extremely slowly taking long breaks for chats on his phone. After 1 month he still cannot be relied on to collect or return customers in our taxi service - a key role for his job. He's been told that he has until the end of the month to get his act together - all the signs show that this isn't going to happen and I will need to ask him to leave. Is there a requirement of notice that I have to give for staff who have worked less than 1 month?
Thanks
