| Targeting news reports about employer’s maltreatment and designation of jobs other than the legally permitted ones to Philippine nursing workers, the Council insists that employers shall abide by laws to execute liabilities on worker’s life management, and workers suffering any contraventions of employers, once inspected, will be aided with current right protection mechanism. According to the Council, foreign nursing workers are hired to execute nursing jobs, and employers who designate them to jobs other than permitted ones are in contravention of Subparagraph 3 of Article 57 of Employment Service Act, and will be punished with fines above NT 30 thousand dollars and under 150 thousand dollars, and shall make improvements within a fixed term according to Article 68, or recruitment and employing permits will be abolished if not improved over the term according to Article 72. In addition, since some foreign workers’ repatriations are forced, as often heard, therefore, the Council proclaims that the prior termination of employment relationship shall be verified in order to protect foreign worker’s rights, being effective on Nov. 1st, 2006. In the case of Philippine nursing worker being improperly sheltered, and the illegal action of the employer is under inspection of Taipei City Government, the employer will be punished for any contraventions detected according to laws. For any reasons, not their fault, foreign workers can immediately apply for aid to transfer to other employers based on Article 59 of Employment Service Act; moreover, the sheltering term will not be calculated into the working expiration for protecting labor rights. |
