Overtime concerns over Taiwan plans
Print Edition
Most Taiwan citizens are concerned that plans to revise rules governing time spent at work may lead to longer overtime hours, the findings of a survey showed yesterday.
About 75 percent of 1,205 respondents believed they would be affected by the proposed changes. More than 25 percent of respondents feared they would be physically and mentally stressed, according to the poll conducted by 1111 Job Bank.
The island鈥檚 administrators plan to revise the rules of the five-day work week, such as raising the monthly cap on overtime work to 54 hours, from 46 hours.
Sixty-two percent of respondents said they felt pressured by long work hours, and 12 percent of respondents said they had been working more than 12 hours a day.
Last year, employees in Taiwan worked an average of 2,034 hours. They overtook most countries in the region even though their total work hours last year dipped from 2015, local statistics showed.
Taiwan employees have to perform 11.4 hours of overtime work each week on average, causing 86 percent of respondents to consider quitting their jobs.
