Working time records for Thai teams

Record the working week clearly

Use this page when you need a clean weekly record of work performed in Thailand, especially for employees whose hours affect payroll, overtime, or project billing. The practical goal is simple: capture the date, start and finish times, breaks, work performed where relevant, and the pay category that applies to the time.

Thai employers with ten or more employees must keep Thai-language wage, overtime, holiday-pay, and holiday-overtime documents. Those records include working days and times, work performed where relevant, pay rates, and amounts paid to each employee. A time record that omits the day, time span, or pay category creates extra payroll cleanup later.

Build records around required fields

A useful Thai time record separates ordinary working time, working-day overtime, holiday work, and holiday overtime. It also shows the project, task, location, or work type when that context affects payroll review, client billing, or internal costing. For example, a line can show Monday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., a one-hour break, 8 ordinary hours, and the client project worked.

Payroll teams also need a link between hours and pay amounts. Wages, overtime pay, holiday pay, and holiday overtime pay are paid in Thai currency unless the employee consents to another permitted method or currency. Keep the time entry precise enough to support the payroll document, especially when different rates apply on ordinary days and holidays.

Thai rules that change tracking

Normal working time in Thailand must not exceed 8 hours per day and 48 hours per week for ordinary work. For work prescribed as potentially harmful to health or safety, normal working time is limited to 7 hours per day and 42 hours per week. Time records should make those categories visible instead of mixing all hours into one weekly total.

Breaks and consent also matter. Employees must receive at least 1 hour of rest after working no more than 5 consecutive hours, with permitted shorter intervals totaling at least 1 hour per day. Overtime and holiday work generally require prior employee consent, except for limited urgent, continuous, or emergency work allowed by the Labour Protection Act.

Free tool or managed workflow

A simple time-tracking page is enough for a freelancer, a small team, or a one-off weekly total. It works best when you only need to capture hours, review a short period, or prepare a basic payroll handoff. It becomes weaker when several people track across projects, overtime categories, holidays, approvals, and recurring client billing.

A managed workflow gives managers a system of record. Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into customizable reports with 45+ columns, metadata filters, grouping, exports, scheduled email delivery, profitability dashboards, and overtime visibility through Team Hours and custom reports. That matters when Thai working-time records feed payroll, billing, and management review every week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Thailand require every employer to use a clock-in system?

Thailand does not impose one universal clock-in system requirement. The Labour Protection Act does create recordkeeping duties, including Thai-language wage and overtime payment documents for employers with ten or more employees. Those records must show working days and times, relevant work performed, pay rates, and amounts paid to each employee.

Which Thai working-hour limits should a time record help review?

A Thai time record should make ordinary daily and weekly limits visible. Normal working time must not exceed 8 hours per day and 48 hours per week for ordinary work. For prescribed hazardous work, normal working time is limited to 7 hours per day and 42 hours per week.

Which overtime categories should Thai employers separate?

Separate working-day overtime from holiday overtime because the pay multipliers differ. Overtime on a normal working day must be paid at not less than 1.5 times the employee's hourly wage rate. Overtime worked on a holiday must be paid at not less than 3 times the employee's hourly wage rate.

Which break detail is easy to miss in Thai time records?

The common mistake is recording only gross start and finish times. Employees must receive at least 1 hour of rest after working no more than 5 consecutive hours, with permitted shorter intervals totaling at least 1 hour per day. Time records should show breaks clearly enough for payroll or HR review.

How should employee time data be handled under Thailand's PDPA?

Employee time records and monitoring data that identify a person are governed by Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act. Employers need a statutory basis for collection, use, or disclosure and must provide required privacy information to employees. Biometric clock-ins used to identify a person are sensitive personal data and face stricter processing conditions.

How does Everhour Reporting support Thai time tracking reviews?

Everhour Reporting turns logged time into customizable reports with 45+ columns, metadata filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF. Teams can review hours by member, project, client, billable status, cost, and overtime visibility through Team Hours and custom reports.

How does Everhour Timesheets support approval before payroll?

Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is protected from edits, which gives payroll and billing teams a clearer review trail before they use the hours.

Turn Thai time into reports

Track approved hours, review overtime categories, and export reporting-ready records. Everhour gives teams the reporting workflow needed when Thai time data supports payroll, billing, and project decisions.
