10. I’ve found a job. Does my employer have to apply for labor/employment/occupational accident insurance enrollment for me? Should I be enrolled in insurance during my probationary period?

Regardless of the length of employment or whether a probationary period is agreed upon, employers of workers in companies, firms, and other business entities must, in accordance with regulations, enroll these workers in labor insurance, employment insurance, and occupational accident insurance on their first day of employment. Employers must also report their insurance withdrawal on the day employees leave their jobs to protect their rights and avoid penalties.

1. A business entity employing one worker (including part-time student workers and part-time workers): This refers to insured units mandated to enroll employees in employment insurance and occupational accident insurance, also allowed to voluntarily enroll them in labor insurance.
2. Business entities employing five or more workers (including part-time student workers and part-time employees): These shall submit applications to enroll workers in labor insurance, employment insurance, and occupational accident insurance.
3. If a business entity fails to report its employees’ insurance enrollment in accordance with regulations, in addition to being fined four times and ten times the amount of insurance premiums payable in accordance with the Labor Insurance Act and the Employment Insurance Act, the insured unit shall compensate employees for any losses incurred. In addition, according to the Labor Occupational Accident Insurance and Protection Act, a fine of NT$20,000 to NT$100,000 shall be imposed and the reason for violation shall be announced.
