Pros~~ If it’s a branch office south of central Taiwan, there aren’t many cases, so it’s fairly relaxed.
There are domestic trips to other cities/counties and overseas year-end parties plus trips.
If you can’t use all your annual leave, you’ll receive cash compensation.
1. Outside northern Taiwan, each region has only one assistant, so it’s very difficult to take annual leave.
2. What’s even more frustrating is that annual leave isn’t calculated from your employment start date; it starts from January 1 of the following year.
3. Sick leave is deducted at the full daily wage—they say there’s no such thing as deducting half a day’s wage.
It’s almost always operating on the edge of the Labor Standards Act.
4. The salary is so-so—only about NT$1,000–2,000 above the minimum wage, with no overtime pay. (In central and southern Taiwan, the workload is generally not enough to create an overtime issue.)
5. If a document contains errors and is rejected by the managing authority, they’ll even deduct it from your salary~
