Nikonian Academy job scam / job fraud for lowyat Net


Company Name: Nikonian Academy in Kota Damansara/ Nearby Sunway Giza (Well-known for people who like photography & cameras)


Boss: Andrew Boey
Boss's wife: Michelle (also HR & accounts?)


Customer/student Negligence:
Some ppl paid a lot for photography classes to get a good certificate, but these students need to complete classes & something like "practical training" to get the certs. This boss is postponing classes with the reason too little student & refuses to continue for sometimes. During that time, he also ask these students to work with him as the trainee & used them for his projects (He earned money from it & pay nothing to the students). He even extend some of the student's practical hour because he is short of staff.

*I heard he told his staff: Generate more new client; those students already paid in full before the classes; they're not important!!!!*



WHY HE"S SHORT OF STAFF?

1. He press the salary down kaw kaw (Your expected is RM2800, your last drawn salary is RM2600 & he offer only RM2200). His excuses is you got more than one thousands of things can learn from him & you get GREAT working experience there. He also promise after confirm will get to your expected salary... got staff 2 weeks already confirmed bla bla bla.....
2. During probation period, no EPF is given. You should know this is against labour law.
3. After confirmed, you get almost near to your expected salary (RM2700 etc); BUT your salary is not deducted sometimes. WHY? Because they skipped the EPF (3 months no pay, this month May 2013, they pay EPF for last year July 2012 etc). Pay some & never pay some, labour department only can urge them to pay in full. They might pay until you're 100years old baru finish pay.
4. If you resign, even though you got 1 month notice, he might ask you go 24hours & never pay you your last month's salary. Or maybe RM100 when you're entitled to RM2200
5. He is very vulgar in mouth & like to insult people. You might not be called Ali or Chong Meng; but phuqer & matherphuqer.
6. If he is hiring SALESMAN (passion to learn about photography), please do not engage with him. He doesnt pay for your commission even though the rate he promised is good. Sometimes he even said the client you served is walk-in & not considered your sales.
7. Working hour: He will say Monday to Friday at first; but later will change to Sunday to Thursday bla bla bla... & need you to come early in the morning to do something out of your job scope. (salesman serving food for his students & wash dishes etc)


He got a lawyer as business partner, so he do what he likes. So many people sued him, but the office is still operating. Labour office say this company is famous (getting complained), but they cant do anything about him.




Can refer to their other scams. Yes, the company is financially unstable because the boss like to spend money like water pipe.

Hi,

Anyone heard of Galaxy Groups? Seems like many job applicants in India got scammed by their air hostess position & also have bad ratings in property development area.
