Teaching in Music Centre

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

I used to teach at Yamaha in Johor Bahru and had a bad experience with the management here . 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 , and that was why I'm thinking of what we, as teachers can do so that we are protected from this kinda ruthless boss.
