Quitting a teaching job for a new one in Taiwan

If there’s no early termination option in the contract and your employer is unlikely to let you go without a fight, you need to ask yourself whether or not you have a Labor Standards Act Art. 14 situation (or Art. 15 if you’re a permanent resident with an indefinite or long-term contract) or a Civil Code Art. 489 situation. You can only use the LSA option(s) if it’s a job subject to the LSA. You probably won’t know the answer, so I suggest talking to a lawyer or someone at the labor department in the city/county where you work.
