編按：台灣目前多數工作都屬於責任制、沒有加班費，讓不少上班族抱怨連連卻又無可奈何。你也常加班卻領不到加班費、下班還必須回公司line嗎？各國的加班狀況如何？他們又是如何看待「加班」這件事呢？



“I like my job and I’m a physical therapist but I wouldn’t work on Saturdays. Not worth it, no! I value free time more. ”

「我是個物理治療師，我也很喜歡我的工作，但我不會在週六上班。不值得，我更重視休閒時間！」



1.香港



我有個台灣朋友常加班

I have a friend who works overtime very often.



但她加班的事情常跟她的工作內容無關，通常是跟他老闆的私事有關

But what she has to do is not job-related stuff. Usually it’s her superior’s personal things.



但那個白癡還是照做不誤

But my friend still does it.



其實香港跟台灣都有差不多的情況

This kind of problem exists in Hong Kong as well.





比如像護士這樣的行業

For example, like nurses.



工錢很少，但有很多事情要做

Not enough salary, but a ton of things to do.



如果私立醫院能給比較多的薪水，就變成公立醫院就請不到人了

If private hospitals can offer more money, then public hospitals will have a hard time to fine someone to work.





2.美國



I know this Taiwanese guy.

我認識一個台灣人



He worked at a company where he got paid to until 6pm.

他公司的下班時間是晚上六點



And he had to go ask his boss if he could go home.

下班前都要問過主管可不可以走



And the boss said no, he had to stay, that guy wouldn’t get paid.

如果主管不同意，叫他留下來幫忙也不會給加班費



In America, that don’t fly.

在美國不可以這樣搞



It’s actually illegal to have you be working your job and not be clocked in and getting paid for that.

如果叫我們加班不給錢，在美國是非法的





And if you do work over 40 hours a week, it’s considered overtime.

如果你一週工作超過40小時，那就要算加班費了



What overtime is, is it takes your basic rate of pay and then times it by 1.5.

我們加班費算法，就是你一小時基本薪資再乘以1.5





Let’s say you are making $10 an hour, you would be then working for $15 an hour.

如果你時薪10美金，那你加班費一小時是15美金



3.比利時



In the milk factory,

在牛奶工廠



That was for the morning shift and the afternoon.

一小時大概15歐元，這是早午班的價錢



For the night shift we got paid a little bit more, maybe 16.5.

晚班多一點，大概16.5歐元





But the weekend is 12-hr shift.

週末通常12小時一班



On Saturdays, it’s paid 1.5. On Sundays, it’s double.

星期六加班費1.5倍、星期天2倍



4.德國



By law the minimum wage in Germany is 7.50

在德國最低時薪是7塊5歐元



If you work after 20:00, it’s 50% more I think and on the weekends it’s 100%.

我記得工作超過晚上8時，時薪會多50%，週末加班時薪多100%





5.印度



I worked in a few American companies in India.

我在印度的幾家美商公司上過班



These have flexible working hours, so as long as you get your job done you can do it whenever you want.

工作時間彈性，只要能把工作做完，沒有硬性規定上下班時間





There’s this other extreme example of a foreign cellphone company.

不過像有一家有名的外商手機公司



Where you come 10 5 minutes late and you lose half of a day’s pay.

如果你遲到5分鐘，就會扣掉半天的薪水



So in Delhi the minimum wage is 180 NT and then Bihar it is 75 NT.

在印度德里最低薪是180台幣，比哈省是75塊台幣



And that’s per day.

這些都是一天的工資



6.日本



（聽說日本人很愛加班？）

“Do Japanese office wokers like to work overtime?”



誰會愛加班！？

Who likes to work overtime?



但是日本上班族們真的一定要加班

But Japanese office wokers really have to work overtime.



有一些公司不會給加班費

Some companies don’t even pay overtime.





這種公司我們會叫「黑企業」

We call kind of company “black enterprises”.



7.德國-2



The German welfare system consists basically two different kinds of welfare.

德國失業社會福利有兩種



The first one is when you work for two years in a raw.

第一種是，當你有連續工作兩年的經驗



Then you get for half of a year, I think 60% of your last wage.

政府會給你上份薪資的60%，會支付你半年





But you are supposed to do as much as you can to find a job.

但這段時間你必須得很努力地去找工作



And after half of a year, you only get Hartz IV and that means the lowest amount of money you get for your living.

半年後還找不到工作，就領Hartz IV，一種最低保障的生活費



And you get paid for your flat, 490 Euro is the maximum amount of money you get for your flat.

政府也幫你付房租，但最貴不可以租超過490歐元



To include electricity and gas and water.

這錢是要含電費、瓦斯費和水費喔！



I think 370 Euro for food and clithes and your everyday needs.

另外有370歐元是包含食物、衣服和日常用品



And you have to do everything to get a new job.

領福利的期間你還是得想辦法找到工作





And that can mean you have to do really shitty jobs you can’t say “No, I don’t wanna do that.”

表示你什麼工作都得去嘗試應徵，不管工作有多辛苦



So the government pays you like 800 Euro per month until you find a new job.

所以德國政府每個月補助你大概800歐元直到你找到工作



“But what if you don’t find a job?”

（但如果你一直就是找不到工作？）



They will keep on paying you, like, forever.

那政府就會一直給你錢，到你死
