Background
Effective from 5 May 2019, the Labour Protection Act B.E. 2541 (1998) (“LPA”) was amended by Labour Protection Act (No. 7) B.E. 2562 (2019) (“2019 Amendment”) in order to modernize the provisions relating to the rights and protection of employees. As several of these amendments relate to those rights that are required by LPA to be stipulated in the work rules, several provisions of the work rules would need to be amended in line with the 2019 Amendment.

In this article, we discuss the material changes which should be reflected in the work rules as a result of the 2019 Amendment.
