台湾目前有19个国定假日,每个国定假日都由劳工部通过《劳动标准法》及相关施行细则订定。同时,台北的人事行政局规定了所有非工作假日。
台湾政府其他部门曾经发布过一次性法定假日,通常在发生紧急状况时发布,比如台风袭击,政府有权利以任何原因发布一次性法定假日。
台湾的许多庆祝活动会持续多日,因此员工拥有第二次机会参加活动。于是,全体员工为了完成计画工作,他们会选择补回假期。这些补回假期也被列为每年国定假日的一部分,有些补回假期也会碰上周末。
Taiwan’s public holidays are provided for by the Ministry of Labor through the Labor Standards Act and its related Enforcement Rules. The Central Personnel Administration in Taipei regulates all non-working national holidays.
Other branches of the government of Taiwan have been known to issue one-time national holidays. These events usually occur due to a state-of-emergency such as a typhoon strike. The government has the right to declare any one-time national days off for any reason.
Many of the celebrations enjoyed in Taiwan are multi-day events. Some of the events will have a second date added to them where the entire workforce has a “make-up” day scheduled to work. These make up days are also issued as part of the national holiday list each year. Many of the make-up days occur on a typical rest day such as Saturday or Sunday.
