Thank you for the signed contract. I noticed a change in the contract in section 4. Allowances and Accommodations : instead of two return tickets BKK / AMS a year as in the previous two contracts, now only one return ticket BKK / AMS a year is mentioned in the new contract. I hope this is a typo, please confirm. It is also noteworthy that 2 less senior SGSI expats (jg 3) who recently joint the CFP project receive a monthly housing allowance of 100,000 Bath versus 50,000 Bath for PTTES.
Exchange rates remain a problem – I started 4.5 years ago with 30,000 Baht, based on an agreed fee of 1,000 USD. It is now at 850 Euro, or with current rates 925 USD..
As far as I can remember the only raise I got in the 4.5 years with PTTES was per 1 January 2016 : from 825 to 850 Euro, or 3% in 4.5 years – I hope the other PTTES colleagues are doing better than that.
As the new contract is again valid for 1.5 years I would appreciate if you can reconsider this.
Looking forward to your reply.
