Workplace reviews and discussion: 群浤科技股份有限公司

In the cleanroom, there are all kinds of colleagues. Whoever speaks the loudest wins, but everyone usually helps each other earn a living through hard work.

During the 2018 Lunar New Year holiday, attendance in the Flexible Printed Circuit Board Department followed a four-days-on, two-days-off rotating shift schedule. The team leader announced that personal and sick leave would not be accepted during the Lunar New Year period. Anyone who failed to show up on a scheduled shift would be considered absent without leave, and previously approved leave would also have to be canceled. A few days later, the team leader announced that during the Lunar New Year period, only annual leave would be accepted; no other type of leave would be accepted, and anyone who did not show up would likewise be considered absent without leave.

On 2/13, the team leader announced that the factory would be closed on 2/15, Lunar New Year's Eve, and that everyone had to take leave. Employees without annual leave had to apply for personal leave.

From 2/16 to 2/20, some employees called the company to request leave from the team leader, but the team leader completely refused all leave requests.

The company's requirement that leave not be accepted during the Lunar New Year period may violate Article 37, Paragraph 1; Article 38, Paragraph 2; and Article 43 of the Labor Standards Act.
