INSPECTION OF NEW WORKWEEK PLAN STARTS|例休新制進入檢查期 由地方視個案裁量

The "one fix day off and one flexible rest day" policy has entered the "inspection period" on July 1. The Ministry of Labor expressed that punishment will be imposed on violations, but the local government has the right to decide based on the individual cases. The Labor Affairs Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government expressed that big companies will be inspected first, and promotion and guidance will be provided to the small and medium enterprises. Tainan City will follow the original inspection schedule, and companies, large and small, will be granted a grace period. Like those in Kaohsiung, Pingtung County's large companies will face punishment if they violate the regulation. Promotion and inspection will be conducted for the rest of the companies. A three-month grace period will be given, and if the company cannot pass the inspection, then it is subjected to the punishment. As many companies in Pingtung are in the agricultural, forestry, fishery and husbandry industries, more relaxed standards will be adopted. If major violations happen, the three cities and counties will adopt the same attitude to inspect the situation and impose punishment based on the individual case. TRANSLATED BY：BETTY CHEN 一例一休，7月1號正式進入「檢查期」。勞動部雖然已經表明，會開罰，但還是交由地方，來視「個案」裁量。南部三縣市各有應對方式，高雄市勞工局昨天表示，會優先檢查大型企業，對中小企業，是採取、持續宣導、輔導的方式。至於台南市，則是按照「既定」的勞檢排定行程，不分企業大小和行業別，都給予改善期。 至於屏東縣，跟高雄一樣，大型企業違規立即裁罰，其餘採輔導、檢查並重，違規者給予三個月期間改善，形同延長輔導期，複查不過才開罰。由於屏東縣內有較多農林漁牧業，將採取更寬鬆處置。對於如果發生重大違規、社會關注的案件，南部三縣市態度一致，檢查後，將依個案狀況進行裁罰。 記者 李淑蘭 陳顯坤 高雄報導
