PTI Taiwan follows the Labor Standards Law and the Labor Pension Act in implementing employee retirement regulations and established a labor pension supervision committee to appropriate the full amount of pension contribution for employee to apply for pension after retirement. There are two ways to plan for pension. One is the old pension system that employer promotes 2% of appropriated pension over salary. Another one is new pension system that employer promotes 6% of appropriated pension over salary and employee promotes 0~6%.

Club Activity

Each club organizes events on a yearly basis to provide employees with an environment where work and life are balanced. Besides work, employees have means to get relaxed so that they have balanced physical and mental developments. Employees are able to link with their colleagues besides work, which strengthens the inter-colleague bond. Employees and their dependents can take part in events together, contributing to a harmonious and happy family. PTI not only takes care of its people but also its people's family members so that the employees and their dependents have a better understanding of PTI and it helps enhance the approval and sense of belonging that they have towards PTI. We provide clubs with subsidies on a quarterly basis to support and vitalize their operations. Club carnivals are organized each year to encourage respective clubs to introduce company-wide events that help the whole Company come to life.
