   The Council of Labor Affairs announced the minimum hourly wage will be raised from NT$103 to NT$109 beginning January 1, 2013. If hourly wage is below the adjusted rate as agreed upon by labor and management, it should be rectified in accordance with the law from January 1st 2013.
   The Council of Labor Affairs stressed that the wage agreed upon by employee and employer must not be lower than the minimum wage. If this regulation is violated, once disclosed, the employer will be subject to a fine of between NT$20,000-NT$300,000. Depending on the severity of case the supervising agency can also decide to announce the business name, names of business owners or who being responsible. On top of this, the employer will be required to make up to minimum wage level.
