Workplace reviews and discussion: 威策電腦股份有限公司

1. Salary is calculated based on the base salary plus “regular” bonuses. The insured salary is based on the basic salary (the lowest bracket) in order to circumvent the Labor Standards Act. During my employment, the basic salary was below the minimum wage; I do not know whether this has since been corrected. After I reported the matter to the HR department, they shifted responsibility by saying that insuring the basic salary was not a problem. However, during the interview, they had mentioned insuring the full salary, and only later made corrections. (For the salary portion, refer to Article 21 of the Labor Standards Act.)

2. The accounting department makes errors even in the amounts shown on basic withholding statements. It cannot even calculate that overtime pay within 46 hours is non-taxable, and corrections are made only after employees point this out. The same problem still occurred the following year. The accounting department blamed the issue on the system but still did not make any changes. (See Articles 24 and 32 of the Labor Standards Act.)

3. Annual leave is available in theory but not in practice. Most positions at this company are outsourced personnel stationed at client facilities, and someone must cover your shift when you take leave. However, when the people above cannot find someone to cover for you, they only ask you to be understanding. The HR department also shifts the blame onto you personally, saying that if you want to take leave, you can take it, and whether you can actually take it is not the company’s problem.
