At first, I was told the probationary salary was either 32K or 33K—I can't quite remember. However, when I received my salary after not completing the full month, I discovered that it included “meal expenses,” probably a little over 2,000. This was not disclosed, and it was also not stated in the information on the job-search website. Later, after asking colleagues who had been there longer, I found out that the days not worked in full were deducted from both the base salary and that day's meal allowance. Therefore, after deducting labor and health insurance and the so-called meal expenses, the actual salary might only be around 28–29K. Also, even something as simple as requesting a pay slip could take a very long time. Honestly, sending an electronic file—or scanning a paper copy and sending it by email—should be very quick, so I was curious why it took so long. In short, everyone should definitely ask clearly how much they will actually receive and how expenses such as meal allowances are calculated. You should also make sure to obtain a pay slip from the company so you can understand how your salary was calculated, what deductions were made, whether they were reasonable, and so on, in order to protect your rights.
