Common mistake: foreign employees can have labor insurance, but that does not mean every foreign worker automatically has Labor Pension Act contributions or employment insurance.
Labor insurance
BLI states that covered workers include foreign employees legally working in Taiwan.
Occupational accident insurance
Employees of registered employers and legally employed household migrant workers are compulsory subjects; foreign nationals are included.
Employment insurance depends on status
Do not assume unemployment benefits simply because labor insurance applies.
