The night shift pays an extra NT$50 per hour.
That’s right—no doubling, just an extra fifty dollars.
Very tiring. Extremely tiring.
Every shift on the kitchen’s night shift feels like an extreme challenge.
The workload is almost twice that of employees working regular hours.
Usually, after one or two in the morning, there is only one person left in the kitchen.
If business is extremely busy, you’ll honestly feel like you’re going to die from the workload.
Also, you usually don’t have time to take the full 30-minute break.
When it’s busy, you’ll usually clock out and then continue working; you aren’t paid for this time.
I also usually arrive half an hour early to work for free, because the work simply cannot be finished otherwise.
You also have to confirm the quantities of the items in the refrigerator before the evening-shift coworkers finish work; otherwise, once everyone has left, there will be no one available to help me bring things over.
If you’re a student, working part-time one or two days a week is still manageable.
But ideally, you should work no more than four days a week; otherwise, you’ll really feel like you’re going to die from the workload.
