Frequently Asked Questions

▸How is holiday pay calculated in Taiwan?

Per Article 39 of the Labor Standards Act, employers must pay regular wages on national holidays. If an employee works on a holiday, the first 8 hours are paid at 2× regular rate; hours beyond 8 follow extended-hours overtime rules. Example: hourly wage NT$200 × 8 hrs × 2 = NT$3,200.

▸What's the difference between rest-day and holiday overtime pay?

Rest days (Article 36) use a tiered multiplier — 1.34× for the first 2 hours, 1.67× for hours 3–8, double beyond 8. Holidays apply a flat 2× for all hours up to 8, making them more lucrative for workers and more expensive for employers.

▸Can I take comp time instead of holiday pay?

Yes, with employee consent (Article 32-1). Comp hours = worked hours × multiplier (e.g., 8 holiday hours = 16 comp hours). Unused comp time within the agreed window must still be paid out at the end of the period.
