The year-end bonus is fairly generous.
1. Typhoon days off are not necessarily granted. Even when work and classes are suspended due to torrential rain, employees are still required to report to work, and they are not allowed to clock in or out in order to avoid labor inspections.
2. Bereavement leave is not necessarily granted. When asking the boss whether leave can be taken in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, the boss will tell you not to quibble over those few days of leave.
3. When disputes arise between colleagues, the boss will not mediate. Young employees should remember to defer to senior colleagues, because they have also been very tolerant of you.
4. The year-end bonus is fairly generous, but salaries do not increase, and the insured salary for labor and health insurance is not reported at the full amount. When this issue is raised, the boss will say, “Don’t focus on the present; look to the future (the year-end bonus).”
