The boss is very easy to talk to. The couple run a soy milk business and commute in a Porsche, so they seem to be quite good at planning for themselves.
Public holidays are days off—one of the few aspects that complies with the Labor Standards Act.
They care a lot about customers’ needs and will purchase white gloves for employees to wear, so they do not dirty customers’ ceilings when installing lights.
Cons
Field workers clock in at 8:00 a.m., but do not clock out at the end of the workday. Although the boss says that work ends at 5:00 p.m., it exceeds that time most of the time, and there is no overtime pay.
At the end of the month, the company arbitrarily fills in “17:00” as each employee’s daily clock-out time on their attendance records for that month, and also requires employees to sign them to indicate responsibility, apparently thinking this avoids violating the Labor Standards Act.
Some of the equipment is not in good condition. Power tools often malfunction, but the company is unwilling to replace them. Some cars also have minor problems that the company is reluctant to repair—for example, a car door may inexplicably lock itself, and employees have to pay for a locksmith to unlock it.
The company does not provide employees with a year-end bonus in accordance with the Labor Standards Act.
Saturdays are off every other week. The company does not follow the Labor Standards Act’s one regular day off and one rest day per week system, and does not pay overtime for Saturdays.
The insured salary reported to the Labor Insurance program does not match the actual amount; the company only reports the minimum insured salary.
There is a one-hour break from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., but work often cannot be finished on time, so employees have to rush to complete it.
Employees get only two Saturdays off per month. In principle, biweekly working hours exceed 84 hours, and the company does not follow the one regular day off and one rest day per week system.
Electrical and plumbing work involves breaking into walls and using cement, often producing large amounts of dust, but the company does not provide high-filtration dust masks, safety goggles, or other safety equipment as required by the Labor Standards Act.
