Childbirth Allowance Renewal and Advantech Employee Benefits
Advantech prioritize the well-being of employees and their families, recognizing that life extends beyond work. Therefore, we provide a range of benefits, including marriage, maternity, hospital, and bereavement condolence allowances, emergency relief funds, festival and holiday benefits (Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, birthdays) and so on.
For marriage and childbirth, we offer allowances that exceed legal requirements, and all Advantech employees are eligible to apply. Employees must submit a wedding invitation or marriage certificate, including same-sex marriages, to apply for the marriage allowance. Each person will receive a subsidy of NT$10,000. For the childbirth allowance, employees need to submit a birth certificate. Since September 26, 2022, the childbirth allowance has been increased from NT$3,600 to NT$10,000 per child.
For other employee family supports including parental leave and family care leave, please see below:
- Female employees face the dual responsibility of work and family care under some circumstances, which puts them under considerable pressure. To help female employees balance the demands of family care and work within the social system, Advantech strongly supports employees in applying for family care leave and remote work options to accommodate new work models after the pandemic.
- Work From Anywhere(WFA): IDL employees in ACL may apply for 1-day WFA per week via Employee Zone.
- Flexible Working Hours: IDL Employees in Advantech are supported with flexible working hours policy, the flexible time section is 07:30-09:30 / 16:30-18:30. Since employees may arrange “where the work is being done” through WFA policy, by the support of flexible working hours, employees can also arrange “when the work is being done”.
- Part-time working positions can be fulfilled through contract employment.
C. Paid family or care leave beyond parental leave. Due to the pandemic, employees require more support in family care, such as vaccination, COVID-confirmed cases of family members, and so on.
D. Paid parental leave
- For the primary caregiver: Advantech offers primary caregivers 7 days of Prenatal Checkup plus 9 weeks of Maternity leave, which exceeds legal requirements of 8 weeks.
