My friend says it’s too low.
I’m American if that makes a difference
Are you sure you’re American?

I guess it depends on the hours. Not sure why being American would matter. It’s not like you get more being American vs Canadian.

I post here the same.
The minimum monthly averaged wage for foreign professionals is 47,971. If your contract includes 2.05-month bonus, it satisfies the requirement.
But, is it an elementary school? Sounds like a buxiban hour. It includes after school program?
2.05? Meaning 200 Taiwanese dollars??? How does that small amount satisfy the requirements?
No. 2.05 month bonus = 41000*2.05 NTD.
…, so, u mean $80,000 a month?
No. Not monthly bonus.
your yearly wage should be 14.05 * 41000 NTD to satisfy the legal requirement. 41000NTD for each month + 83652NTD bonus per year
IIRC, this is only for white collar office workers, not buxiban teachers. @yyy can probably clarify for us.
I know, but according to OP, he was hired by an elementary school, not by buxiban.
That is why I said there is no legal requirement of the fbi check in the original thread,
Actually, you suggested the hours sound like a buxiban and he never answered you that it is an elementary school.
Does that minimum requirement also count for regular school teachers? I have no idea, so deferred to one of our local legal gurus.
yeah, I am not sure that his/her school is really an elementary school. OP said hired by an owner, not a principal.
I don’t even see where it says he was hired. And if he did, wouldn’t an owner instead of a principal suggest more that it’s a buxiban and not an elementary school?
agree. I intended to say so.
I work in an elementary school and I work from 7:40 to 4 every day.
12-7:30 is more likely buxiban hours.
If you get paid $600/hour, you can do the math.
7x5 = 35.
35x600 = 21000.
21000x4 = 84000, so according to this simple math, OP you’re getting wrecked.
Saying “I’m an American” makes you look sketchy, IMO.
Maybe he was just saying he is a native English speaker and that it could make a difference, understandably so.
Anyway 41 000 seems too low. I hope it is not in Taipei?
Teachers wage is based on 外籍英語教師待遇標準表.
Standard wage for a 1st year teacher with a bachelor’s degree is 62720 NTD (5 years ago. It was adjusted a few percent.).
EDIT:
The below is just for professionals described in Article 4 of
Qualifications and Criteria Standards for foreigners undertaking the jobs specified under Article 46.1.1 to 46.1.6 of the Employment Service Act.
Public school teachers are not included.

So, @Itsmeee, your salary cannot be that of a regular school teacher.
Your employer is a buxiban, and you need the fbi background check for your work permit.
So, i’m heading there now. What should i ask my employer?
It’s my first day
