FAQ – Taiwan

An Employer of Record (EOR) manages compliant payroll, onboarding, benefits, and statutory contributions while you manage daily work.

Taiwan’s Labor Standards Act governs wages, leave entitlements, and employee protections.

Employees are paid monthly in TWD, with mandatory payroll deductions applied.

You can hire through your own Taiwan entity or partner with a Dhi ADT EOR for fast, compliant hiring.
