Retirement System
UNIC Technology contributes 15% of total monthly payroll to retirement preparation funds in accordance with the Labor Standards Act under the legacy labor pension system (old system) and has established a Labor Retirement Reserve Fund Supervisory Committee to oversee fund management.
For domestic employees, approval was granted on September 13, 2018 (New Taipei City Government Letter No. 1071624115), allowing settlement of service years under the old system. Eligible employees may apply to withdraw remaining balances from their individual retirement reserve accounts.
In accordance with the Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals, foreign professionals engaged in specialized work who elect to continue under the Labor Standards Act pension provisions (old system) may not switch to the new pension system. As of the end of 2024, two foreign professional employees remain under the old system. The balance of the old-system retirement reserve account was approximately NTD 3.43 million, fully funded by the employer without employee contributions, thereby safeguarding employee rights.
With the implementation of the Labor Pension Act (the new system), employees who elect the new system or are hired after its implementation are covered under a defined contribution scheme. Retirement contributions are made monthly at no less than 6% of monthly wages into individual labor pension accounts. In 2024, recognized pension expenses totaled NTD 1,552,299.
