Hiring of child labor under 16 is strictly prohibited. Female employees are entitled to 1 day of menstrual leave per month that they can take to rest at home. Pregnant employees are entitled to 40 hours of paid prenatal appointment leave and 60 days of maternity leave, and may take up to 9 months of tocolysis leave depending on health condition or physicians' advice. For pregnant employees who work in shifts, the Company would also take the initiative to adjust their work hours to avoid night shift. Furthermore, the Company makes sure that it avoids assigning child labor and pregnant employees to any tasks that may pose hazard to their physical or mental health. In the unfortunate event of a miscarriage, employees are granted miscarriage leave of at least 5 days up to 4 weeks depending on the duration of pregnancy. As a support to maternity protection programs, Taishin engages physicians to organize regular health seminars and hazard identification courses for pregnant employees and those who have given birth for less than one year. In addition, these physicians provide suggestions on how the workplace can be improved to eliminate hazards, and offer consultation and health education to those in need. For pregnant employees who choose to work during pregnancy, the Company provides maternity clothes that they can wear comfortably at work. In support of the government's pro-natalist policy and women re-employment policy, Taishin provides family care leave and prenatal appointment leave which is more favorable than law and unpaid parental leave and job reinstatement for all employees as required by law. Besides, Taishin also arranges childcare privileges and grants nursery breaks for those in need. Daycare allowances and nursing breaks are granted, while nursery rooms have also been made available at Ren'ai, Neihu and Jianbei offices. In addition, Taishin arranges medical specialists to host health-related seminars for women who are carrying child or have recently given birth, and has physicians stationed at business premise to provide regular medical consultation for employees.
