Workplace reviews and discussion: 立紳有限公司

As long as you do things properly and avoid mistakes, you can make it in time for shipments, and no one micromanages you.

The coworkers are super easy to get along with, straightforward, and very willing to help one another. They do not blame people; as long as you do your best, that is enough.

During the interview, they said the terms would comply with the Labor Standards Act, but after joining, things were different. It is very obvious that they are violating the law. Everything the supervisor explained seemed unlawful to me, which I found outrageous. I am now worried that the salary may also differ from what was stated.

1. The agreed-upon monthly salary system was supposed to apply, but if the month is incomplete, the calculation is based on the number of days at the basic salary rate, excluding holidays. I do not know whether this means the calculation is based on a basic salary of 20,000. It feels like converting it to an hourly wage would be better...

2. The company has not insured new employees on their first day of employment. It has already been the fifth day. (The company explained that it was afraid new employees would leave, and that the administrative process was troublesome, so they had not enrolled them.) Naturally, the longer they delay, the more employees lose out. We are still uninsured; if a workplace accident really happens, it will be a disaster. It is frightening that they operate this way.

I signed a contract that does not comply with the Labor Standards Act and has no legal effect, such as not paying wages if employed for fewer than seven days, requiring one month’s advance notice of resignation, and requiring compensation for all company losses if one month’s advance notice is not given.

There are no access cards. To enter or leave the company, you even have to borrow an employee’s card to go to the restroom. An access card is only issued after three full months.

The company says its turnover rate is low, yet also says it delays insurance enrollment because it is afraid employees will leave. This is very contradictory.
