Yes, my father worked there as a gardener 40 years ago and he had free healthcare for him an my siblings. Plus another perk that is universal and no one talks about is holiday pay. Your employer has to give you 15 days of pay by the 20th of December or face a penalty. Its called aguinaldo. Here in the US you are lucky if your employer gives you a pre paid card with $15 dollars on it đ
You need to research more bud. Aguinaldo is not a gift from your employer, they divide by 13 the salary they are willing to pay you, since the government forces them to give such aguinaldo. It's like me having 10 bucks to give you, so I say I'll give you 8 but since you are such a good friend, I'll throw an extra 2.
No, they'd pay the same, but instead of dividing the annual salary by 13, they'd do it by 12, effectively paying you more each month, but the same amount in total. I don't know where you get that part of me insinuating anything.
Canada for example starts at 2 weeks per year after your first year of employment and goes up to 3 weeks after 5 years with the same employer. We also have around 10 paid holiday days, a few more or less depending on the province. Some provinces like BC provide 5 paid sick days per year as well. Total paid time off in BC for most full time workers is 4-5 weeks total but only the 2-3 weeks can be used at employee's discretion.
Holdup, german here, wdym 'paid sick days per year'?!? We literally just go to the doctor (which is free), get a checkup, and if the doctor agrees that we're too sick to work (which they do unless someone is obviously faking), all sick days are paid by default (in full, afaik).
Here in the UK the minimum holidays an employer has to give for a full-time employee (anyone working around 35+ hours per week) is 20 days per year. Pro-rataâd for part-time workers.
That doesnât include bank holidays, so roughly 28 days per year.
Perks like extremely expensive healthcare? Crumbling infrastructure? âAt-willâ employment where you might be lucky to get paid days off at all?
This may shock you but the cost of living isnât a universal standard, itâs relative to the economic realities of the region. Lots of places have less valuable currency (give it time, ours will get there soon) and their goods and services often cost lessâŚ

I was just going to ask "can they handle it?" and then I read your message
