In Thailand, the Labor Protection Act is the main regulation that prescribes minimum standards, duties, and rights in relation to employment for employers and employees. However, due to a recent shift in the lifestyle of the younger generations and their economic participation trends, Thailand has seen an increasing number of workers leave their full-time positions and instead provide their services to one or concurrently a few of the newly established platform-based companies in transportation and logistics, food and package delivery, and cleaning industries. The Labor Protection Act, however, is unable to properly provide protection for these independent workers. As there has been an intention to guarantee fundamental rights to these independent workers for work safety and social security, the draft Independent Workers Protection Act (the “Draft Act”) was proposed. The Draft Act will also benefit traditionally independent operators such as self-employed farmers, traders, and craftsmen.
