I heard, some can hack its system though.. I just don't know where and how as I'm not in Taiwan. Why not post this to the Taiwan section - you'll probably get more sensible response. ^_^

Do people in Hong Kong, China & Taiwan work on Saturdays
Do people in Hong Kong, China & Taiwan work on Saturdays?
I am calling companies in China, Hong kong & Taiwan to find a right manufacturer for a certain product we need. Just trying to get an idea if it is worth my time to call these factories on saturday?

There is no definite answer to your question. Just like what the first answerer posted, some companies might work on Sundays but that is not very common. Some companies open on Saturday either half or full day, but some choose to have alternate or every Saturday off. Why don't you call Mon-Fri or contact them by email first.
3 :
In Mainland China the workers that work for Chinese companies work 7 days a week or at least 6 that being Sat. In Taiwan and Hong Kong they have Sat off unless it is a service job that is open 7 days a week like Mc Donald's. I lived in Mainland China and watched so many people work 7 days a week from day break to dark.
4 :
In China, many factories and manufacturers work six or seven days a week. If you are trying to call the mainland this week (May 1), then you should know that it's a holiday time period. Many places will be closed, at minimum, May 1, 2 and 3. Some a bit longer. Some places may close all week long, depending upon the owner, etc. Hard to say as this year, the May 1 holiday is not a "golden week" in my part of the country. In spite of that, many professors cancelled classes, etc., and many shops are closed so that people could travel. Regardless of location, everyone should be back working full strength by May 10.
5 :
No, Saturdays and Sundays are off days. But if the manufacture has good business,or emergency orders, they will work 7 days a week, 24 hours, shift around.
6 :
Most Chinese manufacturing companies have marketing staff available 7 days per week. Call between 0900 and 1800 China Standard Time (CST).
7 :
In China and Hong Kong it varies between companies. Many of the big cities in China require that staff work on saturday for half a day (which means they do nothing on that day). Hong Kong is similar. Sales people are working long hours and often communicate with email and mobile phones, which means they are effectively on call 24 hours a day. I would say wait until monday, because a saturday call might get a quick response, while on monday they will take the time and effort to do this work properly (just like I avoiding calling companies with complex enquiries on a Friday, because they often have forgetten in by monday)

In Hong Kong, usually Saturdays are off. Some will have half-day or alternative Saturdays e.g. this Saturday could be a working day, and next weeks' Saturday is off-day, followed by another week with work again etc. Usually sales / marketing offices are up to Saturdays, for production or manufacturing office, the work could go 7days/week and depending on the load of orders. As for Taiwan, I'm not sure, you better ask it on Taiwan section.

Tattoos, even large ones, are not that uncommon among blue collar workers in Taiwan. Yes. It is possible to obtain employment for you. A Taiwnese friend of mine runs an emploment agency nearby that places blue-collar workers from the Philippines, Vietnam, etc. in jobs here in Taiwan, and I have an acquaintance down the road who is a Filipino blue-collar worker at a factory here (along with many of his friends). You can send me an email using the link on my profile, if you wish.

There are tons of people in Taiwan with tattoos. If you want a teaching job, so long as a shirt covers it, and you have the qualifications, it is possible.
3 :
As a foreigner, you cannot get an employment visa for a non-professional job. Factory, farm, and manual labor jobs are reserved for local Taiwanese people. Only qualified foreign doctors, lawyers, engineers, software programmers, etc are eligible for a Taiwan employment visa.
4 :
You should be able to find a factory job, but it will be a little difficult than the one who does not have tattoo with equal experience/education as you.
