I have been asked to do some research on all the bad stuff that has been written about Interac, this information then to be translated and presented to a BoE.

I know this forum and others have lots of comments about Interac, but I recall also that somene once made an "Interac sucks" site, but I seem to have lost the url. Does anyone have that url, or any reasonably reputable web sites with this kind of information?

[Mike L.]

Don't know about that site but a "search" here and on gaijinpot would be useful.

There are lot's of threads knocking them I'm sure.

Be sure and tell the BOE aobut the late payment at Intercrack and their ludicrously low wages the often lead to people bailing in mid contract.

That rumour about a link to the Mormin Church is really interesting too!

Anyone got any info on that one?

Funny how some people are so out of date. Interac hasn't been late on paying for over 18 months now. And late payment, as anyone who knows anything about this country will tell you, is common among Japanese companies trying to get through tough times without laying off people or going under. It's the really bad ones who simply go bankrupt and screw their employees. Late payment by the way was always done with the employee's permission and was half on payday and the rest 10 days later. It really wasn't all that bad- I know of other companies who got several months behind paying their staff.

Yeah some Mormons work for Interac . So do some Buddhists, Atheists, Christians, Muslims and Hindus. Interac is an inclusive company. What's the second poster's point- or is he just prejudiced against Mormons?

And the website the first writer is looking for- actually it attacked 3 or 4 companies not just Interac- is long gone. It just told too many lies and had to shut down or be shut down.

With almost 1,000 teachers in Japan, you'll find ex-employees willing to run down Interac, just as you will NOVA, GEOS, and all the other big companies. Funny how these big companies who employ hundreds and thousands of people are still around year after year. Maybe they are doing a few things right?

If the first writer really wants the truth about Interac, he should talk directly to current and past employees. He won't find the truth out on this or any other website as it is generally people with an axe to grind who do all the postings.

Well if your so knowlegeable why don't you cough it up Gimpster? You sound like a current Interac Gimp that's for sure.

Methinks you paint yourself the "Gimp of Interac" by defending one of the lowest paying despatch companies out there.

BTW Gimp we all remember your last foray into the defence of Interac and how you scurried off with your tail betwen your legs.

Need a repeat?

Umm... Late payment of wages is ILLEGAL. If any company is not paying your salary on the day they have agreed, you really should be contacting the Labor Standards office.

[hip-hop boy78]

sounds like gimpster is an Interac manager or employee...
just like jim said, late payment is ILLEGAL. if you're supposed to get paid on a certain day, as perhaps specified in your contract, then any breach of that contract would seem to me to be ILLEGAL!!
plus with Interac, it seemed to be that people in some areas would get paid late whereas people in other areas wouldn't.
also, the gimpster said that people were only paid late when the actual teacher was in agreement...hmmm...let's see...
a)say Mr. Smithers, would you like half of your pay-check in two weeks time and the remainder next month?
b)er....NO!
nice try gimp boy....you must have taken all that Interac b******t way too far up your a**

Ditto, it's ILLEGAL to pay late. See http://www.jil.go.jp/jil/laborinfo-e/docs/llj_law1-rev.pdf for the labour Standards Law.

Has Interac been disciplined for their low compliance with labour standards?
