The Taiwan Ministry of Labor announced on Tuesday that the new minimum monthly wage of NT$22,000 (US$730) had been approved by Premier Lin Chuan before he submitted his resignation on Monday, meaning that the new pay rate will be implemented from January 1, 2018.
At its annual meeting, the Labor Ministry’s Minimum Wage Review Committee previously decided to raise the base monthly rate to NT$22,000 from NT$21,009, while the new hourly wage would be NT$140, up from NT$133, The Liberty Times reported.
The ministry said the decision had been approved by Lin and was running through the administrative procedure. Lin’s resignation would not affect its implementation.
According to Taiwan Apple Daily, it is estimated that around 2.05 million people will see their pay rise, including 420,000 migrant workers.
Does caretaker’s wage will rise too?
Actually No, because caretakers and domestic helpers are not covered under the Labor law
Saklap …kawawa na naman caretaker at dh…unfair ! Unliwork na wala pang ot at dayoff.

bakit sinabi including 420,000 migrant worker?
Good news indeed. Taiwan should be rich if there are no corruption in government. Can the Tsai administration promise the people to wage a war against corruption?
You are misinformed! Hong Kong cannot stand alone without the mainland. Those young protesters were being used by politicians for their own selfish interest
Congratulations sa mga covered sa Law.. Cge pacanton na po kau jan.. Share your blessings po! Hehehe.. Good vibes everyone!
napaka unfair tlga,eh pareparehu lng nmn tau foreign worker ah,sa wrk lng tau mgkakaiba,unliwork na nga ala pa ot taz kpag gusto mgday off kakaltasan pa…minsan nga nd na lng kmi mg ooff ,pambayad na lng sa brokers fee
Only factory worker how about caregiver or caretaker

better to transfer in HONGKONG now DH salary THERE is better than here and besides they also have weekly day off and holidays off with pay. ???????????? at wala man lang nagagawa ng gov’t batin hinggil dito,buti pa Indonesian at pinaglalaban ng gov’t nila kapakanan ng mga trabahante nila dito
how abaut kuwait
Ok lng sana khit di Kasama ang caretaker Basta Yung mga holiday Dito s Taiwan byaran nman din nila
Hope that the caretakers also increase mas kme ang pagod…take care elders and clean house…and part knew ng mga migrant.
Ano po ysn ate?
How about the care taker ? Can have an increase? 17k it’s not enough for us ofws. I wish the Taiwan labor will care the ofw salary increase. If there is we highly appreciate it and so thankful the Taiwan president. To care about the need of all ofws.
Kyrie Dale Del Pilar nursing home is same as caretaker dear..we are not belong in this increasing salary
Caretakers are not covered under the labor law ? But work is unlimited?? Sir Jason Ang,,,,WOW ASTIG nakakawalang gana ang hirap ng trabaho namin
Tama ka sis caregiver dn ako mahirap ang work lagi walang tulog dahil di natutulog ang matanda panay utos pa 34 hours tyo in service sa knila pro maliit lang ang sahod natin,masaklap na masaklap kaylupit nmn ng decision ng governmnt n yn bkit hndi ksalo ang mga caretakers,caregivers na syang nhihirapan ng masyado sa work.Pakinggan nyo nln kami.Unfair ang ginawa nyo sa amin
Better not to select Taiwan as a caretaker better go to Japan as salary is higher than the salary here in Taiwan. Taiwan is not good for the caretaker because of low salary, stress from the employer. If you work in Taiwanese employer every sec. you have to work and want you to work 24 hours with less food and very tight in money (stingy). Sometimes treating you inhuman as they thought you are machine will never get tired.
reklamo mo ah, dapt un ung pinaka ot mo pg hndi k pinagday off,,libre nmn food nio at tulugan di katulad s mga factory worker halos 4k nwawala s sahod dahil s food at dorm
Sobra pah ata sa 4k nt ang nababawas.. kac my brooker fee pah,, umaabot nga minsan ng 7k nt xa isang buwan.. magastos talaga pag sa labas ang kain
Jason Ang why caretaker are not covered by labor law? We as a caretaker need a labor law and sad to say we need it most because of our job is not easy as you all think.we do our job most of time day and night but without increasing of wage salary.it so obviously unfair.
Myee Mylez Wang caretakers and domestic helpers are free food and accommodation kaya di sila na sama sa increase. Not like in manufacturing industry their monthly board and lodging is 6000.
Ephigenia Cho factory workers have meal allowances too
It said including migrant workers
sa company nyo po cguro..wag po nting lahatin maam
I dnt think so dat employer will follow the said amount even now the minimum wage is 21009 nt nd we hv signed the same amount bt in our payslip they only pay as 19050nt ..
I hope all employers will do….
May good sad very sad to see
tama ka sis… pag my kasama pa sa bahay magihing dalawa pa aalagaan.mo naku po… dapat taasan din ang caretaker at caregiver minsan.gisingin.kapa dis oras oo lebre nga food kaso balik balik nmn … wala pang day off hahai…unfair naman!!!
i am caretaker but i want to be.factory worker next yr yearly increase factory working
how about FACTORY WORKER IN FAMILY BUSINESS only?
