Employing in Taiwan

The Taiwanese Labour Standards Act is the principal regulation that spells out provisions for employment relationships and workers’ rights which are applicable to Taiwan’s workforce of 11.5 million.

Employees in Taiwan enjoy protections against discrimination based on age, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, and race.

Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include the minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Taiwan.

Onboarding Time

We can help you get a new employee started in Taiwan quickly. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 11 working days.

Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.

For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.

Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Minimum Wage

The annual minimum wage in Taiwan is 343,080 NT$.

Risks of misclassification

Taiwan, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Taiwan may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
