Annual leave for local staff

Hi

I have trawled the CLA site but I cant find the appropriate reg that discusses annual leave entitlements. Trying to get my head round company policy and I would just like the regs to back it up. I think it is the Labor Standard Law, but I cant locate that online either. Help… please…

ARAIK it’s nothing in the first year, seven days in the second year and an additional day each year after that until 15 days. Something like that, at least.

It’s 10 days officially the first year!

My god! When did that happen? Are you including national holidays? I have never heard of this before. Neither has the Taiwanese girl sitting beside me. She’s in her first year here and gets nothing except national holidays, which she says is normal.

It didn’t happen, it’s zero days the first year. Remember a well rested and motivated workforce is detrimental to the economy.

Any working hours after lunch. This is MSN/online shopping/on the 'phone to your mates about your bf time.

Labor Standards Act (Chinese)

Article 38 is what you are looking for:

[quote]第 38 條

勞工在同一雇主或事業單位,繼續工作滿一定期間者,每年應依左列規定
給予特別休假:
一 一年以上三年未滿者七日。
二 三年以上五年未滿者十日。
三 五年以上十年未滿者十四日。
四 十年以上者,每一年加給一日,加至三十日為止。[/quote]

< 1 year = 0
1…3 years = 7 days
3…5 years = 10 days
5…10 years = 14 days

10 years = 14 days + 1 day for every year above 10.

Brilliant! I’m going to stay at this company for 365 years, then I’ll get paid for doing nothing! Stupid eejits never notice THAT little loophole, did they?

Sorry to burst your bubble. It maxes out at 30 days.

Bugger, I guess someone must’ve already thought about it. Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to settle for 30 days off when I’m 400 years old.

Sounds about right to me – 5-10 years, you get 14 days. Eleven years and you’re holidays are cut to 11 days? Yup. Sounds about right.

Labor Standards Act (English)

[quote]Article 38
Where a worker continues to work for one and the same employer or business entity for a certain period of time he (or she) shall be granted special leave on an annual basis on the following basis:

  1. Seven days for the services of more than one year but less than three years.
  2. Ten days for the service of more than three years but less than five years.
  3. Fourteen days for the service of more than five years but less than ten years.
  4. One additional day for each year of service over ten years up to a maximum of thirty days.[/quote]

No, Feiren just didn’t translate it correctly. See the previous post for a more accurate version.

Take it easy on me. I was at the Spaceman wake last night.

That’s not what I was told by my laywer

Fire your lawyer, Miso. He’s wrong about something as simple as this, he’s probably wrong about a lot of other things.

So if you change jobs, and were on say, 10 days leave or something previously, you then go back to zero?

That’s right. Isn’t it great?

Well, the whole leave situation here is really weird.

The first 2 years I was here, the majority of the public holidays fell on a weekend, and it’s “tough shit”. But when it comes time to take CNY, you have to either work a Saturday or take another day’s leave to make up the full week.

It’s stupid how they give everyone a Mon-Thurs break and not a Mon-Fri one year after year, without a passing thought for days lost in the weekend :noway:
