Past thirty days from knowledge, that dismissal was unlawful.

01

What the decision said

This is the Yokogawa Taiwan wage and employment case. Not every worker had the same result. The judgment says the company dismissed Wang Nian-hua on 5 September 2017 under Labor Standards Act §12(1)(4), past the thirty-day period in §12(2), so that dismissal was unlawful. Adding a §11(2) termination during the lawsuit was also held not allowed. This note only keeps the thirty-day point. The appeal of another worker, Sun, was held to be without reason. Do not read the whole case as one-sided.

What an employer can sort first

1. 1Write the day you became sure, not the day you first heard.
2. 2Count from that day to the letter. Past thirty, mark it red. Do not add a new ground.
3. 3The article in the letter has to be the path you are actually on. Switching articles at the hearing is not what this judgment supports.
