Taiwan’s Ministry of Labour is providing subsidies to foreigners who are underemployed or unemployed due to the serious outbreak of Covid-19 cases in Taiwan, reports Taiwan News. Last week the Cabinet announced its "Stimulus 4.0" package to provide relief to residents who have been affected by the recent outbreak and Level 3 restrictions. This included the extension of the government’s "Peace of Mind Employment Plan" under which any legally employed worker, be they foreign or Taiwanese, can receive subsidies, so long as they have labour insurance. Under this programme, Taiwanese and foreigners with employment insurance included with their labour insurance can receive a percentage of the difference between their lost salary and the amount of their employment insurance.
