Salary Level

Since 2020,MetaAge has been increasing its expenditure on salaries and bonuses. The increase each year is fixed at around 15%~16%; the hope is to create a workplace satisfying to and assuring for employees.

MetaAge Group has implemented a comprehensive and competitive salary and bonus system, regularly reviewing market data—particularly the annual high-tech industry compensation report by Willis Towers Watson—to guide pay decisions. Compensation is based on education, experience, expertise, seniority, and performance, with dynamic adjustments to ensure fairness and market competitiveness, helping retain key talent and attract top candidates. Since 2020, salary and bonus expenses have increased steadily by 15–16% annually, reflecting MetaAge’s commitment to providing a supportive and rewarding work environment. All starting salaries exceed Taiwan’s legal minimum wage, and the company ensures equal pay and benefits regardless of gender, race, nationality, age, religion, political affiliation, marital status, or sexual orientation.

Both the mean salary and median salary for full-time employees in non-managerial positions are growing each year.

Retirement System and Pension Contribution

To take care of the retirement life of employees and promote sound labor-management relationships, we have adopted the defined contribution plan in accordance with the Labor Pension Act to deposit the contribution into the employee’s special labor pension account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance each month. For employees making voluntary contributions, we will withhold the amount at the voluntary contribution rate from the employee’s monthly salary and deposit it into the employee’s special labor pension account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

  1. Employees may apply for voluntary retirement under any one of the following circumstances:

    • Having worked for over 15 years and aged 55.
    • Having worked for over 25 years.
    • Having worked for over 10 years and aged 60.
  2. The Company may force employees to retire under any one of the following circumstances:

    • The employee is aged 65.
    • The employee is unable to perform their duties due to disabilities.
    • The Company may apply to the central competent authority for adjustment of the above age requirements for employees engaged in specific jobs with risks or requiring substantial physical strength. However, the age shall not be below 55 years old.
  3. Payment and Standard of Pension:

    • The pension for the service length to which the Labor Standards Act applies has been paid to all qualified employees after reporting to the Ministry of Labor for approval in May 2010 (Approval Letter Fu-Lao-Zi No. 09935829400). Therefore, no further calculation is required.
    • For employees to whom the Labor Pension Act applies, we contribute 6% of the employee’s salary each month to the employee’s special labor pension account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance.
    • The employee’s right to claim pension shall be extinguished when not exercised within five years from the month following the effective date of retirement.
