Faculty members (and teaching assistants employed under the old system) are not required to sign in or out of work. Teaching assistants employed under the new system, however, are required to sign in and out of work within the flexible working hours (7:45–8:30 a.m. for sign-in and 4:45–5:30 p.m. for sign-out) on a daily basis, just as civil servants do. To request leave, please visit the online attendance/leave management system to submit a request.
Contract personnel are required to sign in in the morning and sign out in the afternoon every day. They are allowed to sign off of work 8 hours after the sign-in time (not counting lunch break). Those signing in after 9 a.m. must submit a leave request or they will be recorded as absent without cause. To request a leave of absence, paid time-off, or official leave, contract personnel are required to complete the applicable procedures through the Online HR Information System and obtain the necessary approval before they may leave the University. In the event of an acute illness or emergency, contract employees may notify their supervisor verbally and ask a colleague, family member, or friend to complete the necessary procedures for them.
Pursuant to the applicable regulations, employees with outstanding service performance may be awarded a service medal at the time of their retirement, separation, resignation, or death.
Faculty members may file an appeal against administrative measures which they believe to be illegal or damaging to their rights, or if they believe the University has failed to act on a lawful request in violation of their rights.
Employees who wish to apply for NHI coverage for themselves or their dependents may visit the NHI and Labor Insurance Application and Change System (link available on the Personnel Department website) and provide their or their dependents’ personal information and the starting date of the coverage.
Quota-based faculty members, civil servants, technicians, and custodians over the age of 40 are eligible for the health examination subsidy every other year.
Each top-level unit will receive requests via official letter to conduct evaluations of its faculty members and report the evaluation results to the Personnel Department and the University.
To file a labor insurance claim, download and fill out the appropriate form on the Bureau of Labor Insurance website and submit it to the Personnel Department, which will review the form and attach a seal of approval.
