There is a convenience store next door, so you can only eat convenience-store food.
1. Working hours
From 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., with work also required on Saturdays and Sundays, leaving little time to spend with friends and family.
2. The boss’s credibility
The boss first puts you on a two-month probation period, paying NT$30,000, and persuades you by saying that there is no teaching allowance but that your salary will be increased if you perform well. The boss has the final say over days off and will also keep pressuring you to give up your leave. Basically, there is no opportunity to go abroad for ski training (don’t believe the boss). The boss often breaks promises and saves money in places where it should not be saved—for example, instead of hiring the original manufacturer’s technicians to install the artificial turf on the ski simulator, the boss buys glue and installs it personally, doing a poor job so that it keeps lifting up. The uneven surface is quite dangerous for both instructors and students. The boss simply needs someone to stay and monitor the machine while teaching lessons, and does not require technical ability. When instructors pay out of pocket to take overseas skiing certification exams, the boss will even make things difficult for them. This is especially ironic compared with the website’s claim that it provides guidance for certification exams. As a result, none of last year’s instructors stayed, leaving only the very ill-tempered front-desk staff.
3. Labor and health insurance
After the issue was discovered and reported, the boss delayed enrolling employees in labor and health insurance for four months. There were also no contributions to the labor pension account. Be sure to check the status of your labor and health insurance. The boss may immediately cancel the insurance after enrolling you, creating the false impression that you are insured. This job is extremely risky without labor and health insurance. Do not believe the boss when they say that employment insurance has been provided; the two are not the same.
4. Labor disputes
When business starts to decline after the ski season, the boss begins using various excuses to make things difficult for people and drive them out. Some instructors decide to let it go and leave on their own, while those who cannot be driven out are asked to take unpaid leave, without severance pay or payment of outstanding wages. This is extremely despicable. Even when applying for mediation through the Ministry of Labor, the boss avoids attending. The boss is the association’s chairperson and is very skilled at running documents through government departments to waste time. At present, the only option is to go through the courts to recover the compensation owed. If you do not want to waste your time, it is recommended that you do not come here.
