How do I find a sample of HR Manual of organizations in Thailand. ?

Question

I am writing an HR Manual/Handbook for my organization. I just want to see a sample--especially NGOs or MNCs in Thailand.

I don't know much about Thai business law, regulations, and taxes. How do I find these information online.

I bought a few books, but it's all in Thai language. I prefer English version because I can references them to my boss.

Thank you for your advice.

Answer 1

Networking works best. Try asking HR reps at job fairs (frequently held at local universities). Call in a favor from a friend working at a company to set you up with a copy of their HR manual.

If you haven't already done so, you can a purchase a bi-lingual (Thai/English) copy of the Royal Thai Labor Protection Act at some Asia Books outlets. It has just about all the information on labor law you'll ever need.  Or you can read the Thai version of the พระราชบัญญัติคุ้มครองแรงงาน for free at the link below:

Answer 2

This would be my hypothetical approach:

Assuming I was head of HR of an NGO, I would go to the NGO's general counsel (lawyer) and say "please tell me the name of this NGO's external counsel". S/he would say 'why?' and I would tell him/her because we need an HR manual that complies will all relevant laws and regulations. I would then call the NGO's external counsel and (having obtained a quote for the work from the external counsel that is to the satisfaction of my boss in the NGO/the general counsel of the NGO), then instruct the NGO's external counsel write it for me (which they will be able to do based on the version they have of an HR Manual on their PC already from when the previous NGO client of their's needed to prepare an HR Manual and asked them to do it.)

No-one creates important documentation like an HR Manual for themselves to they? That's what counsel is for isn't it?
