 Q: What are the special annual leave regulations for foreign caregivers and domestic helpers?

A: According to the provisions of the labor contract signed between the employer and the foreign worker, the employer shall give seven days of special leave every year after the foreign caregiver and helper have served for one year, and the salary shall be paid during the special leave. Generally speaking, if foreign caregivers and domestic helpers should take special leave but fail to take it, they will be compensated with an overtime pay of $667 per day (the old contract of $17,000 is $567). At the end of the three-year contract, if neither the foreign caregiver nor the helper has taken special leave, the foreign caregiver and helper will have the special leave that should have been taken but not taken and converted into overtime pay. The above overtime pay and holidays are subject to change due to government regulations.

　In addition, because foreign caregivers and domestic helpers belong to the contract signed once every three years, when the foreign caregivers and domestic helpers come back to work in Taiwan after the three-year period expires, their annual leave rules should be accumulated again. If the employer fails to pay the overtime pay for the special leave that should be taken but not taken, and the foreign caregiver and helper complains to the labor bureau or complains at the airport, the complaint case will also be established with the unpaid wages.

Q : From the salary adjustment date, how to calculate the overtime pay for at least 1 untaken leave of every 7 days for domestic migrant workers, and the wages for unfinished special leave?

 A: If the agreed monthly salary is 20,000 yuan, the daily salary is 20,000 yuan divided by 30 days = 667 yuan per day, so the overtime wages for untaken vacations and unfinished special vacation wages are calculated as 667 yuan per day.  If the agreed monthly salary is 21,000 yuan, then 700 yuan per day will be paid.
