As she has worked there for more than ten years then she is entitled to a severance pay worth 10 months.

Severance Pay: Employees who have worked more than 120 days, but less than one year, are entitled to 30 days severance pay. For personnel employed between one and three years, the severance pay is not less than 90 days pay. Employees with three to six years of service will receive six months salary, those with more than six to 10 years service will receive eight months salary, and employees with more than 10 years service will receive 10 months salary. Obviously, if you are sacked for stealing or because you are unable to do the job, then you are not entitled to the severance payout. Some employers might try and make up a legitimate excuse for firing you so that they don't have to pay this. However, they have to be careful as you can take them to Labor Court for unfair dismissal.

In August 1998, the Labor Protection Act (1998) went into effect. It applies to all businesses with at least one employee. Under the law, employers who disregard the law are subject to fines ranging from 5,000 baht to 200,000 baht and imprisonment of up to one year.
