Save your energy, Morrie. The employer knows it’s breaking the law. Even if there were no work permit issue, the employer would still be breaking education law by having foreign language classes in a kindergarten. If there’s no kindergarten registration, then the violation consists of running an unregistered kindergarten.
Did you hear about Jumpstart?
They got caught running an unregistered kindergarten. They appealed to the Taipei Dept. of Education. They lost. They appealed to the High Administrative Court. They lost. They appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court. They lost so badly that the court didn’t even bother issuing a judgement (I’m not kidding).
We don’t have 100% of the facts in this case, and nothing anyone posts here should be taken as legal advice, but the pattern is familiar to those of us who know Taiwan’s EFL industry. Taiwan is not Hong Kong, and people do not have the same rights and responsibilities under the law.
If you really want something to get upset about, consider the $150,000 or so that OP would need to pay the government if caught working illegally, plus airfare and the inconvenience of being banned from Taiwan for five years (iirc). Would this poor, “harmed” businessman lift a finger to help the deportee?
Then there are the children. Would you trust a business that treats its staff as disposable to take good care of your kids?
Btw here’s the thread detailing Ironlady’s previous encounter with Kornell, for your reading pleasure.
