Working hours generally do not run long, and there is air conditioning
The actual monthly salary is calculated based on the minimum hourly wage.
Apart from the regular leave and annual leave that must be provided by law—otherwise the company would immediately be reported to the Labor Department—
there are absolutely no other leave policies or possibilities. Additional days off or extra pay for national holidays are completely out of the question.
Furthermore:
1. When wages are paid, the company uses only one reusable envelope, on which it writes the total base salary, total overtime pay, and labor and health insurance fees. There is no detailed breakdown available for verification.
(Any salary increases or deductions are communicated verbally only, with no supporting basis whatsoever.)
2. On the grounds of insufficient staffing, long-serving employees are forced to work split shifts, with less than five hours of rest in between.
3. Regular working hours are eight consecutive hours, but there is no scheduled break at any point during that period; employees can only take a brief 5–10-minute rest while eating.
4. There are no additional days off, substitute holidays, or extra pay at all for government-designated national holidays. Asking the company about this will result in hints that anyone dissatisfied should resign.
5. There are only six days off per month. Although the company consistently pays overtime for two days, it has no policies whatsoever for personal leave, sick leave, official leave, menstrual leave, parental leave, or even occupational injury leave.
6. It probably has most of the typical bad practices you can think of in a retail store.
Tainan Guanmiao store:
1. The new employee training course described during recruitment did not match the actual training. Employees were asked to resign voluntarily on the grounds that they could not keep up with the training schedule, apparently to avoid paying severance. They only agreed to pay after a certified letter was sent to the Labor Affairs Bureau for deposit.
2. The deputy store manager has an extremely poor attitude. In daily communication, they often use a sharp, sarcastic tone and show no respect for employees.
