Fair remuneration scheme

Realtek has worked to implement a fair compensation scheme and standardized evaluation formulas over the years. Uniform baseline indicators are used to realize the goal of professional management. An equitable working environment is created through rigorous systems that ensure fair compensation. Consistent salary standards, salary adjustment review indicators and guidelines are applied for all Realtek employees in each position to ensure gender equality. We also ensure there is no discrimination on the basis of employee gender, race, or age in the standard of remuneration offered during the hiring process. Everything is done to ensure a fair remuneration system.

High-coverage company group insurance for employees and dependents

In addition to providing basic labor and health insurance, Realtek also provides group insurance paid by the company as an employee benefit. The insurance includes life, accident, hospitalization, and cancer coverage. Employees’ spouses and children can also be enrolled in the group insurance at the company’s cost. Employees can choose to purchase hospitalization and cancer insurance for their parents at preferential rates as well. Realtek not only looks after our employees but also cares about the health of their families. Realtek employees know that the company truly cares.

Unpaid parental leave scheme

We care about every stage in the lives of Realtek employees. We are also more than happy to help our employees get through every important phase in their lives successfully and safely. An unpaid parental leave scheme based on the Gender Equality in Employment Act was implemented by Realtek. All male and female employees can apply for leave to look after their family members.

Retirement plan

Retirement regulations were drawn up and a Labor Pension Preparation Fund Supervision Committee set up by Realtek with monthly contributions paid to the Preparation Fund for permanent employees in accordance with the relevant regulations of the Labor Standards Act. Pension contributions have also been made in accordance with the actuary report on the pension fund since 1995. Starting from July 1, 2015, regulations governing pension contributions for employees that are local nationals were formulated by Realtek in accordance with the Labor Pension Act. For employees covered by the labor pension scheme outlined in the Labor Pension Act, at least 6% of their monthly salary is deposited with their personal account with the Labor Insurance Bureau. Employee pensions are paid as a monthly pension or a lump sum from the employee’s personal pension account and accumulated returns.
