Workplace reviews and discussion: 欣鴻人工植牙會館_欣鴻牙醫診所

You can take a two-hour nap during work, and the boss’s wife occasionally gives you food, but you often have to work overtime.

If you’re thinking of working here, take note: The employment contract at this clinic was taken away before it was fully signed in duplicate, and even the salary was written in pencil. They also wouldn’t let me take a photo, and I don’t know why.

When I came for the interview, we agreed on a salary, but the money I received was actually the minimum wage plus bonuses. This meant everything depended on whether the boss’s wife felt like giving them and whether she was in a good mood. If something displeased her, she would remind us that various things were connected to the bonus and could affect our pay. I’ve never seen pay determined by someone’s mood before—it felt threatening 😫.

If you work at a normal pace and aren’t dragging your feet, you’ll still be nagged and criticized in all kinds of ways, because there are tons of surveillance cameras constantly watching the staff. If they don’t like you, you may be dismissed (they’ll ask you to sign a resignation form). It’s extremely competitive. Of the five people who started with me, only one is still there; the turnover is unbelievably high.

The scariest thing is still the boss’s wife losing control and shouting at the staff, even though it happened in the break room. Hearing it was still terrifying 😱. There were all kinds of reasons: poor performance, or not looking her in the eye when she was scolding someone.

After I resigned, the half salary I received worked out to only NT$880 for eight hours a day, because everything else was supposedly included in bonuses that were never paid at all.

I worked 178 hours and received a little over NT$29,000.

I worked 79 hours and received NT$12,000.

Even the boss’s foreign workers earned more than I did, haha…..

Also, after resigning, salaries are paid in cash, and you have to contact them several days in advance to tell them you’ll be coming to collect your pay on payday. Otherwise, even if you return your uniform that day, you may not be able to receive your salary. When I resigned, they themselves reminded me to come back on the 10th to sign, return my uniform, and so on. But on that day, the staff there said we had to reschedule for the following week because the clinic was too busy and so on. I clearly stated that this was a wage-payment issue, but the staff turned around and said that we hadn’t submitted and checked off all the returned items, and that they also needed time to help us look for them—as if it were our problem!

In the end, I called the Labor Bureau to clarify the situation and directly invoked the law against them. Only then did they let me collect my salary on payday (at 9 p.m. 🥲🥲). I don’t understand what’s wrong with paying wages on time. They kept making excuses, saying the uniform hadn’t been returned and so on. Only after asking the Labor Bureau did I find out that the uniform could be returned later, but wages must be paid on the actual payday.
