Workplace reviews and discussion: 吉帝旅行社有限公司

There are still good colleagues.

1. The terms agreed upon during the interview did not match the actual conditions after I started work.

2. They did not enroll me in Labor Insurance and National Health Insurance as required by the Labor Standards Act, nor did they promptly process the new employee information. Even after I had worked for 8 days, it still had not been completed.

3. The working environment was extremely dirty and messy, with the foul smell of dead rats. Reportedly, this had happened more than once.

4. I resigned, but the wages owed to me still have not been paid.

*Agreeing to a probationary period is not illegal under the Labor Standards Act. However, regarding the legal relationship during the probationary period, the Council of Labor Affairs has issued an interpretation stating that workers during their probationary period are also covered by the Labor Standards Act. Therefore, regardless of working hours, rest periods, regular days off and holidays, overtime pay, wage payments, workers’ compensation, and so on, employers may not reduce these entitlements for probationary workers. In addition, employers must enroll probationary workers in Labor Insurance and make monthly contributions to their labor pension accounts. Most importantly, even if a worker fails the probationary period, regardless of how long the worker has provided labor—even if it was only one day—the employer must legally pay the wages and severance pay calculated proportionally. Employers may not withhold wages as a penalty for breach of contract or as compensation. Otherwise, the employer violates the full-payment principle under Article 22 of the Labor Standards Act and may be fined under the law.

*Failure to enroll employees in Labor Insurance and National Health Insurance is illegal.
