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.

Ephigenia Cho factory workers have meal allowances too
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.
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.

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
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.
