Questions

• Who is eligible to work in Taiwan?

  Nationals of Taiwan have unrestricted employment rights; foreign nationals require a valid work permit sponsored by an employer and must meet specific job category requirements. Students on valid visas may undertake part-time work within restricted hours and approved sectors.

• What work permits do foreign nationals need?

  Foreign workers need an Employment Gold Card or standard work permit issued by the Ministry of Labor, valid only for the sponsoring employer and designated role. Application requires employer documentation, qualifications verification, and health clearance from a designated clinic.

• What are the standard contract types in Taiwan?

  Employment contracts are typically fixed-term (lasting one to three years) or indefinite. Probation periods of three to six months are common, during which either party may terminate with notice.

• What are standard working hours?

  The legal maximum is forty hours per week, usually spread Monday to Friday. Employers may negotiate flexible schedules, and some industries operate shift rotations.

• How is overtime compensated?

  Overtime beyond forty hours per week is paid at time-and-a-half for standard hours and double-time for work on rest days or statutory holidays. Compensation may be paid as additional salary or time off in lieu, by agreement.

• When and how is salary paid in Taiwan?

  Monthly salaries are typically deposited on fixed dates agreed in the employment contract, often aligned with the lunar calendar or company payroll cycles. The Labor Pension Fund contribution is deducted automatically from each payment.

• What deductions appear on Taiwanese paychecks?

  The Labor Pension Fund (employer and employee contributions) is mandatory, along with income tax withholding and voluntary deductions for health insurance or union fees. Employers provide itemized payslips showing all deductions.

• What educational credentials do employers require?

  Employers request documentation of highest education completed—high school diploma (high school certificate), vocational certificates, or university degrees. Foreign qualifications require Ministry of Education verification or official translation.

• How is the working year structured in Taiwan?

  The calendar includes seven statutory holidays following the solar calendar and additional days around Lunar New Year. Companies often grant discretionary holidays; the exact schedule is negotiated in employment contracts.

• Are there mandatory benefits beyond salary?

  Yes: the Labor Pension Fund is compulsory, employers must provide workers' compensation insurance, and employees accrue statutory annual leave of ten to thirty days depending on tenure. Some employers offer health insurance or meal allowances.
