Full-time assistants are prohibited from taking up another project or position, unless the sponsoring agency (or unit) of the project they work on has no restrictions on part-time engagements and the necessary administrative approval procedures have been completed.
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.
International faculty members are required to submit a scanned copy of their highest diploma and passport information page (passport must be valid) and an electronic copy of their headshot to the responsible person of their respective department so that the University can request a work permit from the Ministry of Education for such them. If approved, the hiring academic unit must assist the faculty member with securing a visa and alien residence certificate. Please note that visa requirements may vary for individuals of different nationalities, and it is recommended that each unit’s responsible person first consult with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as to whether a prospective faculty member is eligible for a visa. This applies to the appointment of all international full-/part-time faculty members, project faculty members, Ministry of Education Yushan Scholars, and visiting personnel.
To apply for retirement, faculty members must submit a photocopy of their household registration transcript, postal savings passbook cover, and designated civil service pension account passbook cover; the original copy of their teaching certificate (if certified to teach at multiple levels of education, all valid certificates); and a 1-inch photo.
To apply for survivor’s benefits, the family of the deceased faculty member need to submit the original copy of a death certificate or a household registration transcript indicating the faculty member’s death, the household registration transcript indicating each surviving family member’s right to inheritance, and a transcript of each eligible family member’s individual household registration. A photocopy of the chief beneficiary’s bank account passbook (must be a postal savings account or designated civil service pension account) and proof of burial/cremation are also required.
To request an extension of service, the provisions of the NCHU Directives Governing the Extension of Service by Professors and Associate Professors apply.
In principle, contract personnel are prohibited from pursuing part-time work or teaching engagements within or outside of NCHU, except where the University’s official business requires it and where such engagements will not interfere with regular duties. Contract personnel may be approved by the head of the competent unit to participate in up to two projects within the University, the remuneration for which may not exceed 40% of their base salary.
To foster industry-academia collaboration and in compliance with the Ministry of Education’s Principles for the Handling of Full-Time Teachers at All Levels Seeking Part-Time Engagements and the University’s general policy for more lenient handling of faculty members with part-time employment, NCHU permits faculty members to take on part-time employment or teaching engagements at private companies, government agencies, or other education institutions with the approval of the head of their respective unit and the University, provided that such engagements do not interfere with their teaching duties at NCHU.
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.
