When a make-up workday occurs, your annual leave is automatically deducted without asking whether you agree. If you do not want annual leave deducted, you have to come to the company and obtain approval from a supervisor-level manager.
The benefits and treatment for contract employees are vastly different from those for regular employees. Contract employees generally do not receive salary increases, year-end bonuses, or performance bonuses. They receive only half pay when taking sick leave, whereas regular employees receive full pay. Regular employees' annual leave benefits are better than those required by the Labor Standards Act, while contract employees must simply follow the Labor Standards Act.
Most importantly, when a contract employee becomes a regular employee, their entire period of service is reset to zero, regardless of how many years they have worked or how long their tenure is. There have also been cases where contract employees' salaries were reduced upon becoming regular employees. If you are considering applying for a contract position, think twice.
