I think this is pretty standard for Chinese companies. My friend works for one, and she doesn't get sick days. They must come out of her holiday allowance.
She gets treated better than her Chinese counterparts, though. For Chinese public holidays, they get the day off, but are then expected to give it back to the company at the weekend
Haha, no. This is US branch 100% I can promise you TikTok eu branch would not have had these rules even though they are both ByteDance
I'm afraid I and my friend are both in the EU. Chinese companies will and do find ways...
UK is not the EU, m8.
I know... Even with this information, I can confirm that my friend and I are both in the EU
The problem isn't the Chinese companies the problem is the US doesn't have any kind of employee protection laws. If they did the Chinese companies couldn't do any of that. There was a reason they don't operate in Europe.
I work for an American company and we have to use PTO for sick days. Unfortunately.
This is pretty standard for US companies in general.
