Lunch is partially subsidized. For dinner, there are two options: free meals provided for overtime work or paying for dinner yourself after work. Two days off per week, and annual leave is always implemented in accordance with the Labor Standards Act. The annual salary is equivalent to 16 months (including the three holiday bonuses), which probably 80–90% or more of employees are able to receive. If your performance is better than others’, you can receive an additional 1–2 months’ salary.
