The salary levels that NCUE pays to all our faculty and staff are higher than the standard for basic wages approved and announced by the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China. The payment basis and amounts are explained as follows:

1. According to Article 21 of the Labour Standards Act, wages shall be negotiated between the employer and the employee, but the amounts shall not be lower than the stipulated basic wage. The intention is to ensure workers’ basic livelihoods and maintain their purchasing power. This is especially critical for disadvantaged workers whose wages are at the margin of the basic wage.

2. The Executive Yuan of the Republic of China announced that, beginning January 1, 2021, the monthly and hourly basic wages would be adjusted to NT$24,000 and NT$160, respectively. The former applies to those who are paid on a monthly basis. According to the law, the amount is the minimum remuneration for performing labour services within the upper limit of normal working hours (currently 40 hours); the latter is the lowest remuneration per unit time for those who are paid by the hour as agreed.

3. The average salary levels of our faculty and staff, as shown below, are all higher than the aforementioned basic wage standard.
