Thai factory OT on your payslip — how Myanmar interpreters check OT hours, rate, and dorm deductions before payday
Before payday, check OT hours, OT rate, and dorm/food cuts on your Thai factory payslip — a practical checklist for Myanmar interpreters.
Many Thai factory payslips for Myanmar interpreters / coordinators look simple at the top (base salary) and busy at the bottom (OT lines, Social Security, dorm, food, shuttle, “other”). This page is a practical checklist so you can read those lines before payday — and before you resign for a new JobThai card. It is not legal advice, not a calculation service from MMKHub, and not a promise that every factory uses the same payslip layout.
Browse live openings on the MMKHub jobs board, then open the official JobThai URL on each post. Pair with JobThai salary: “based on experience” vs a published THB band and Apply safely on JobThai as a Myanmar interpreter.
What usually sits on a Thai factory payslip
| Line | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Base / basic wage | Monthly base in THB | OT is often calculated from this, not from “expected take-home” |
| OT hours | Regular OT vs holiday / Sunday OT (if listed separately) | Hours on the slip should match your signed OT sheet / clock records |
| OT rate / amount | Per-hour rate or multiplier × hours | Ask HR which multiplier applies to your contract |
| Allowances | Shift, language, attendance, meal | Confirm what is taxable vs not, and what stops during leave |
| Deductions | Social Security, tax, dorm, food, shuttle, uniform, “savings” | Small daily cuts add up over 26–30 work days |
| Net pay | Final THB transferred | This is what you remittance-plan with — not the JobThai headline |
Factory cards sometimes advertise OT expected (for example Hyxion’s JobThai card notes about 2–3 hours/day OT). That is a schedule hint, not a guaranteed OT wallet. Confirm approval rules in writing.
Checklist before payday (and before you resign)
1. Do OT hours on the slip match your records?
- Keep photos of your OT request / approval sheet or clock-in / clock-out
- Compare total OT hours on the payslip to your own tally for the period
- If holiday / Sunday OT is paid differently, check that those hours are not mixed into weekday OT without a label
2. What is the OT rate — and is it on base only?
- Ask: OT per hour = ? THB, or which multiplier on basic wage
- Confirm whether language / shift allowance is inside the OT base (many factories use basic only)
- If the JobThai card said Negotiable or Based on company’s structure, get the OT rule in the offer letter / Trust Mail, not only a voice note
3. Which dorm / food / shuttle cuts come off every payday?
- Free dorm vs rent deducted
- Food: free canteen, coupon, or daily deduction × days worked
- Shuttle: free, fee, or self-commute (some Bang Pa-in / Rayong cards say self-commute only)
- Ask for a written list of fixed monthly deductions during probation and after
4. Is anything labelled “other” / “advance” / “deposit”?
- Uniform, tools, training deposit — get the refund rule in writing
- Salary advance recovery should show a clear remaining balance
- Refuse cash “fees” to unlock OT or to “speed up” your first payslip
5. Plan remittance from net THB, not from base + hoped-for OT
- OT can drop when production is slow — do not resign elsewhere on an OT-heavy month alone
- When you send money home, remember there are three MMK layers (worker remittance board vs bank counter vs community P2P) — see Three MMK numbers on payday
- Walk the Thailand → Myanmar remittance checklist before you hit send
Quick red flags (payslip / OT edition)
- OT promised only on LINE / voice note with no written multiplier
- Payslip OT hours far below your signed sheets, and HR will not explain in writing
- “Pay a broker first, then we add your OT”
- Dorm / food deductions that were never listed in the offer
- Pressure to resign your current job based on expected OT, not written base + OT rules
