▎Types of leave foreign workers can take when returning home on vacation
I have worked in Taiwan for over a year and want to return home to see family, what sort of leave should I apply for?
If a foreign worker plans to return to their country of origin for a vacation that generally requires an extended period off work. Workers can apply for the following types of leave depending on their individual situation:
| Annual leave | Personal leave | |
| No. days | Based on number of years worked or provisions in the labor contract | Foreign workers covered by the Labor Standards Act receive 14 days leave a year. The number of leave days enjoyed by live-in care workers and home help is determined by provisions in the labor contract or negotiations with the employer |
| Salary | Full salary is paid and a worker’s full attendance record is not impacted | Leave is unpaid and days off can be deducted from a worker’s full attendance record |
Regardless of which category of leave foreign workers choose to take, they should apply for leave as far ahead of the time they plan to return home as possible.
