Employee Welfare & Care
Everlight Chemical upholds the concept of Compassionate Management, establishing a Comprehensive Welfare System covering physical/mental health, family economy, and emergency response.
▍Creating a Diverse and Gender-Friendly Workplace Environment
- We provide lactation rooms and exclusive priority parking spaces for pregnant employees. The Maternity Health Protection Plan is strictly implemented to ensure the workplace safety of colleagues during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Employees can apply for parental leave to care for young children. In Taiwan, this includes 8 weeks of paid maternity leave and up to 6 months of government-subsidized unpaid leave. Both parents are eligible. In 2024, both male and female employees had a 100% return rate, reflecting strong family support policies.
▍Employee Childbirth Allowance and Childcare Services
- In Taiwan, Everlight Chemical offers a NT$20,000 birth incentive and a NT$2,000 subsidy per child through the Employee Welfare Committee. In 2025, a total of NT$ 500,000 in incentives was distributed, benefiting 25 families.
- Since 2013, the Company has partnered with a local daycare center to provide discounted childcare services, supporting employees in balancing work and family life.
▍Providing Educational Scholarships and Bursaries for Employees’ Children
To ease the financial burden of education and support higher learning, Everlight Chemical has provided scholarships to employees’ children in Taiwan for 30 consecutive years. In 2025, subsidies were provided for 530 student-times. Over the past three years, a total of 1,662 student-times have been supported, with a total investment exceeding NT$ 12.17 million, supporting employees’ children in pursuing higher education.
▍Encouraging Diverse Groups and Communicity Activities, and Providing Subsidies
- Everlight Chemical supports 18 employee-led clubs that promote physical, mental, and social well-being. In 2025, the total number of participations reached 743 people.
- The Employee Welfare Committee selects high-quality cross-disciplinary readings to build a rich corporate knowledge base. To improve the convenience of knowledge acquisition, a comprehensive Online Borrowing System was introduced in 2024 to enable cloud reading. Simultaneously, a new layout for library spaces across plants was completed to create a comfortable, immersive reading environment that encourages lifelong learning.
- Committed to fostering a culture of exercise, we have established fitness spaces within our plants equipped with diverse professional equipment (such as treadmills). We encourage colleagues to exercise during their leisure time to release work pressure and promote balanced physical and mental development.
▍Regular Supervisor Sensitivity Training
We cultivate supervisors’ ability to perceive the behavior and emotions of their subordinates while enhancing their skills in caring communication and building trust.
▍Assist employees with serious injuries and care for the families of deceased employees
For the families of deceased employees, the company provides a Child Living Subsidy (NT$ 3,000 per person per month) and a Lunar New Year Consolation Payment until the children reach the age of 23. In 2025, care was provided to 4 families (7 children), with an investment of NT$ 346,000.
▍Everlight Low-Carbon Healthy Kitchen
Guided by the principle of Eat Locally, Enjoy Healthily, our Taoyuan plants have obtained Low-Carbon Healthy Kitchen certifications to ensure nutritional balance and food safety.
Plant II and Plant III have been awarded the Taoyuan City Healthy Kitchen Label, safeguarding the dietary health of our colleagues.
▍Caring for Aboriginal and Foreign Employees
We deeply respect the cultural roots and tribal beliefs of our indigenous colleagues. To protect their right to participate in important tribal ceremonies, the company strictly adheres to regulations and implements the Indigenous Ceremonial Leave system, encouraging colleagues to return to their hometowns to pass on their culture.
In 2025, 5 colleagues applied for and successfully participated in tribal ceremonies.
The Company offers service-based employment subsidies (NT$1,500-1,800). Through the Foreign Employee Work Management Regulations, regular agency evaluations, and ongoing support, we foster an inclusive and respectful workplace.
▍Employee Transition Assistance Programs
We offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), including a counseling hotline and one-on-one sessions on career, retirement, and life adjustment through the Chinese Mental Health Foundation.
▍Retirement System
In accordance with Article 56 of the Labor Standards Act, we conduct a regular review every March and make full contributions to the Labor Pension Reserve Fund in a dedicated account at the Bank of Taiwan to ensure the rights of employees under the old system.
Under the Labor Pension Act, we contribute 6% of each eligible employee’s monthly wage to their individual pension account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. Additionally, we have established a mechanism to assist employees interested in making voluntary contributions to strengthen their personal retirement savings.
We hold deep respect and gratitude for senior colleagues reaching retirement age. Upon retirement, the company holds a heartwarming recognition ceremony where the highest unit supervisor personally presents a retirement trophy, commemorative gifts, and a meaningful Character Certificate. These honors acknowledge their outstanding contributions and years of dedicated service to Everlight Chemical, allowing them to embark on a new chapter of life with dignity and glory.
▍Natural Disaster Relief & Support
In 2025, a total of NT$ 700,000 in relief funds was distributed to help employees quickly rebuild their homes.
