When using the "One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System," what are the procedures related to the labor insurance system?
- For a newly established company/business entity that has hired employees, how should they use the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System to complete the labor insurance enrollment procedures?
Answer:
The applicant should log-in to the "One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System" (http://onestop.nat.gov.tw/) (For log-in instructions, please review the "Operational Procedures" on the website.) Please select the one-stop service item required. If you have not yet completed the Company/Business Registration procedures, you may click on "Company/Business Registration" and "Labor (Employment) Insurance/Labor Pension Enrollment Application" simultaneously. If you have already completed the company/business registration procedures, you may click directly on the "Labor (Employment) Insurance/Labor Pension Enrollment Application" service link. In both cases, you need to input all application information using the online system and mail the photocopy of the responsible person's ID card (both sides) as well as other application documents to the Bureau of Labor Insurance to complete the enrollment procedures. If the responsible person of the business entity applies for enrollment personally, the responsible person may scan the application information, save it in an electronic file format and upload the file through the online system, using the Natural Person ID Certificate of the responsible person.
- The company is newly established and is operated solely by the responsible person. Can we use the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System to complete the labor insurance enrollment procedures?
Answer:
No. If you are the responsible person of the company/business entity and have not yet hired any employees, according to the law you are not eligible to enroll as an insured unit for labor (employment)/labor pension systems. Please apply for labor (employment) insurance/labor pension enrollment when the company has hired employees in future.
- If we use the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System for labor insurance enrollment, is it still necessary to submit the written documents to the Bureau of Labor Insurance after we have filled out all the application forms online?
Answer:
Yes. For applicants who have filled out all the application information through the online system, they should, upon receiving the approval for the company/business registration, print out the Labor (Employment) Insurance/Labor Pension Enrollment Application Form and Insurance Coverage Application Form via the "Form Downloading" function. These forms should be affixed with the company's seal and the personal seal of the responsible person, and be mailed to the Bureau of Labor Insurance (Mailing Address: No. 4, Section 1, Roosevelt Road, Taipei 10013) along with the photocopy of the responsible person's ID card (both sides). The Bureau shall review the documents and send an official letter to you to notify you of the review results. If the responsible person of the business entity applies for enrollment personally, the responsible person may scan the application information, save it in an electronic file format and upload the file through the online system, using the Natural Person ID Certificate of the responsible person.
- Is there a deadline for submitting the written documents?
Answer:
Yes. The above documents should be submitted by mail or uploaded through the online system to the Bureau of Labor Insurance within 10 days from the next day after completing the online application (approval for registration) through the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System. The insurance coverage shall become effective on the date of application (approval) if the applicant has mailed/uploaded the information within the deadline. The coverage, however, shall not become effective until the next day after mailing/uploading the information if the applicant has not submitted/uploaded the information within the required deadline. The insurance coverage shall not be valid if the applicant fails to mail/upload the application information.
- Since we have already completed the labor insurance enrollment procedures through the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System, why is it necessary to submit the written documents to the Bureau of Labor Insurance?
Answer:
Pursuant to Articles 12 and 13 of the Enforcement Rules of the Labor Insurance Act, the applicant for labor insurance enrollment should submit to the Insurance Enrollment Application Form and Insurance Coverage Application Form, as well as the relevant certificates, to the Bureau of Labor Insurance .Restricted by above regulations, you are still required to submit part of the documents as hard copies, sealed with the company seal and the seal of the responsible person. Please prepare all the application documents and send them to the Bureau of Labor of Insurance. You can either send them by mail, or upload the electronic file through the online system.
- What are the benefits of using the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System for labor insurance enrollment if we still have to submit the written documents afterwards?
Answer:
If the business entity has hired employees at the time of establishment, they can simultaneously apply for company/business registration and labor (employment) insurance/labor pension enrollment through the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System. This allows them to apply for insurance coverage for their employees at the same time, providing better protection to both the employers and the employees. Although the applicants are still required to submit the written documents afterwards, this approach enables the Bureau to review the documents in advance when they are transmitted through the online system in real-time. Furthermore, if the responsible person of the business entity applies for enrollment in person, the responsible person may directly upload the electronic file via the online system, using his/her Natural Person ID Certificate. It is not necessary for the applicant to send the documents in person or via registered mail. This is a fast and convenient process, which saves postage and transportation expenses. - How do we check the progress of the case after we have completed the enrollment procedures through the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System?
Answer:
Once you have confirmed all the application information through the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System, you may access the query function of the system by inputting your "One-Stop e-Case Number" to check the progress of the application. Alternatively, you may call the Bureau's designated service line for new applications: 02-2396-1266 ext. 2454
- If a company or a business entity has already enrolled as an insured unit in the Labor (Employment) Insurance/Labor Pension System, can they use the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System to process the labor insurance enrollment/withdrawal for their employees?
Answer:
No. At present, the One-Stop Online Company/Business Registration System is only offered to companies/business entities that have not yet enrolled as an insured unit in the labor (employment) insurance or labor pension system. They can use the system to complete the enrollment procedures and apply for insurance coverage for their employees.
