Overtime may not exceed 46 hours a month (54 with a union or labor-management agreement, 138 in three months). Hours can be taken as compensatory time off instead of pay if the worker chooses.
What it does
Article 24 of Taiwan's Labor Standards Act sets overtime pay on the hourly wage, which for monthly salaries is the monthly pay ÷ 30 ÷ 8: on a workday the first 2 extra hours pay at least 4/3 and the next 2 at least 5/3. On a rest day the first 2 hours pay 4/3, hours 3 to 8 pay 5/3 and hours 9 to 12 pay 8/3. Work on a national holiday or regular day off is paid double: one more day's wage for the first 8 hours, even if you work fewer, and 4/3 and 5/3 after that.
