Read the community guidelinesPunctual working hours; no overtime, and there is no overtime on Saturdays or Sundays either.
Sometimes the company's orders are affected by the business climate, and the monthly salary becomes a daily wage, or a daily wage becomes a monthly salary. Also, annual leave stays at ten days no matter how many years you have worked there; it does not increase. At year-end, they add a line item to give you some extra money—it seems to be compensation for annual leave. People here are very good at dodging and shirking responsibility. The materials are extremely disorganized. Under no circumstances should you take a position related to materials management or ordering materials. Also, if an on-site employee is injured and goes to the emergency room, the medical expenses cannot be claimed; only the expenses for subsequent follow-up visits can be claimed. Whatever you do, don't get injured at work.
The job duties are categorized in fairly good detail
The website stated a monthly salary, but during the interview they said it was actually a daily-wage system. If you do not work a full 22 days in a month, the pay is much lower than the minimum hourly wage.
In other words, Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays are deducted, and the pay is calculated based on the actual number of days worked.
I later checked the relevant regulations and discovered that this practice is completely illegal.
A daily-wage system is a daily-wage system, and a monthly-salary system is a monthly-salary system. There is no such thing as advertising a monthly salary but switching to a daily or hourly wage.
Job seekers, do not be fooled.
The monthly salary should be exactly the amount stated. For example, if you agree on a monthly salary of NT$30,000 during the interview (with labor and health insurance calculated separately), then you should receive NT$30,000 as long as you are not late, leave early, or take leave. If an employer offers a monthly salary but tells you that Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays are unpaid and only the actual days worked are counted, that is completely illegal.
