COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
EGAT provides stable salary protection, offering employees’ salaries that exceed the legal minimum wage, and adjusts salaries according to job grades and responsibilities, without differentiation based on factors such as age, gender, nationality, or race. Annually, promotions and salary adjustments are based on performance evaluations, and year-end bonuses are distributed based on the company’s operating conditions, linking employee efforts with compensation. In addition, to motivate employees and retain talents, we have formulated Employee Stock Subscription Methods and provided benefits such as employee stock subscriptions and cash capital increase subscriptions. In 2024, EGAT employed 3,153 full-time employees who were not in supervisory positions. The average salary was NT$1,290,000, representing a 2.38% increase compared to the previous year, while the median salary was NT$1,292,000, reflecting a 7.76% increase over the previous year. The ratio of the total annual salary of the highest-paid individual in the organization to the median total annual salary of other employees (excluding the highest-paid individual) was 3.81.
Due to the nature of the industry, core operations such as maintenance and manufacturing are mainly carried out by male employees. As job characteristics vary, salaries are planned accordingly based on different job levels and operations, resulting in gender-based salary differences. Detailed data is provided in the table below.

EGAT offers a comprehensive range of employee benefits. A Welfare Committee has been established to plan and provide various forms of support, including holiday bonuses, wedding and bereavement allowances, and birthday gifts for employees. In 2024, the total amount of subsidies reached NT$23,095,960. To enhance convenience and quality of work life, the Company provides access to an employee cafeteria, convenience store, onsite medical clinic, sports and recreation center, dedicated parking facilities, and complimentary shuttle buses between designated locations and the workplace. In support of employee health and leisure, EGAT allocates an annual budget for departments to organize employee outings. In addition, employees and family members are entitled to discounted tickets on international scheduled flights, offering opportunities to balance work with personal and family life. The Company also hosts Family Day events, inviting employees’ relatives to visit the workplace and strengthen family engagement. Among these benefits, parent-child visits allow employees to have more channels to balance their lives in the midst of their busy work schedules, and also provide more opportunities for interaction among colleagues, families, and the company.
PENSION
To safeguard employees’ retirement security, EGAT has established retirement regulations in accordance with applicable labor laws and set up a Labor Pension Reserve Supervisory Committee. Each year, the Company engages certified actuaries to assess and ensure the full funding of the labor pension reserve. Employees may also voluntarily contribute to their personal pension accounts, with monthly deductions made based on their chosen contribution rate and deposited into individual retirement accounts managed by the Bureau of Labor Insurance. In cases where employees are mandatorily retired due to job-related reasons, pension payments are increased by 20% in accordance with the Labor Standards Act. Although the balance of the Company’s pension reserve account at the Bank of Taiwan exceeds its projected pension obligations (fully funded), EGAT remains committed to protecting employee rights. Pensions must be paid within 30 days from the date of retirement. The Company currently contributes at the statutory rate of 2% to the labor pension reserve under the old system, and at 6% under the new system. All employees, regardless of whether they are enrolled in the old or new scheme, are fully covered by the retirement system. As of January 1, 2025, the balance of Bank of Taiwan’s Labor Pension Reserve Account amounted to NT$2,353,513,458, which is actuarially sufficient to meet the retirement needs of employees.
PARENTAL LEAVE
EGAT employees are entitled to parental leave in accordance with the law. Employees may apply for parental leave according to their family needs.
Note:
Application rate for unpaid parental leave = Total number of employees who utilized parental leave in 2024/Total number of employees eligible for parental leave in 2024
Reinstatement rate = Total number of employees actually reinstated in 2024/Total number of employees applying for reinstatement in 2024
Retention rate = Total number of employees who continued to work or one year after reinstatement from parental leave in 2023/Total number of employees who were reinstated after parental leave in 2023
EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION SURVEYS
To better understand workplace dynamics and employee needs, EGAT launched a comprehensive Employee Satisfaction, Commitment, and Engagement Survey Program in 2024. The results of these surveys are expected to serve as key indicators for driving internal organizational improvement. The Employee Satisfaction Survey primarily evaluates employee perceptions regarding compensation, benefits, and working conditions. Meanwhile, the Employee Engagement Survey assesses seven dimensions: job security, alignment between individual contributions and company goals, team relationships, sense of belonging, discretionary effort, pride in the organization, and loyalty. This deeper assessment aims to gauge the level of employee commitment, involvement in their roles, and alignment with the Company’s values.
