Hey all musicians... anyone ever teach in music centre before.. biggrin.gif

I used to teach at Yamaha in Johor Bahru and had a bad experience with the management here sad.gif . I was wondering anyone else have this kinda experience and how you dealt about it?

In this Yamaha,

1. The lady boss would delay payment to teachers.
2. And as all of you know, they deduct a royalty fee from student - they say it's to pay to Yamaha. But i really wonder, does Yamaha has the right to collect money from courses not under Yamaha syllabus? If no, then where the money end up?
3. Another issue is she would keep on asking teachers to take in more students.
4. She would also add an extra RM2 to every book she sells there.
5. When student did not make payment and did not give notice to stop that month, she will not give you the commission although you have taught for the full month. Even though they still have 1 month deposit in hand.

I really had enough mad.gif , and that was why I'm thinking of what we, as teachers can do so that we are protected from this kinda ruthless boss.

1. How late is the payment delay? Normally music center teacher get their cheques on 29th,30th or 1st week of the month.

2. I think the royalty fee not all goes to yamaha, it simply means admin fee, example, student pays rm100, music center deducts rm12 for its music center admin fee, then left rm88. 60% commision which is rm52.80 will be paid to teacher, another 40% which is rm35.20 goes to music center.

3. Asking teachers to take more students is normal, boss wants to earn more mah. You can reject your boss saying that your time is not available.

4. Add extra rm2 to the books that she sells, this issue is not related to teachers.

5. Not giving the commision although you taught for the full month, I think your should sue your boss.
Every music centre have problems, I even encounter sexual harrasment from my boss, music classrooms no aircond for months (teachers have to bring fan ourselves), boss does not allow us to take annual leave...... lots of problems...

Late means... she only gave me my last month's commision on the 12th of this month. That is like 12 days late... and she only gave me after i called her for it three times a day...

I am quitting this Yamaha and teach private for good. But i just feel this is so unfair for other teachers. Was hoping there is a channel to turn to, like worker's part or whatsoever? Are we protected under the labour law?

Adding the RM2, does affects teachers too... coz we get 20% discount for all books. After raising Rm2, then deduct again... we have to pay more oso... Our access to books here are unlike those in KL, can easily buy anywhere and get 20% discount for teachers... Some centers here don't give discount to other centers' teacher.

Sexual harrassment is too much.... should take action against him oo~~

According to Malaysian Labour Law, the employer shall not pay to his employees later than the seventh day. If piano teachers are protected under the law, you have the right to sue her.
Where are you from?
