Taipei, April 23 (CNA) Taiwan s Legislature on Friday passed the Occupational Accident Insurance and Protection Act, touted as a gift for workers around the country ahead of the May 1 Labor Day, because the new law stipulates two months of full salary payout for those suffering from an occupational injury or disease.
The legislation, which covers all employees in Taiwan including foreigners, integrates the prevention of occupational hazard, compensation and rehabilitation into one single law, said Liao Hui-fang (廖蕙芳), chairperson of Taiwan Occupational Safety and Health Link (TOSHL), one of the civil groups devoted to promoting the birth of the act.
