All forms of sexual harass- ment and intimidation are strictly prohibited in the workplace. Taishin and all its subsidiaries have published "Employee Code of Conduct," "Sexual Harassment Prevention, Reporting and Disciplinary Policy" and "Sexual Harassment Prevention, Report- ing and Investigation Guidelines" over their intranet and Internet websites. Employees can make appeals through the dedicated line (886-2-5576-3567), for cases that concern sexual discrimination or harass- ment, a "Sexual Harassment Prevention and Complaints Review Committee" will be assembled according to laws to conduct investigation in the utmost fairness and discretion, in a manner that protects victim's privacy and prevents witnesses from being retaliated. If a violation is established to be true, the case in question will be referred to Staff Conduct Review and Staff Performance Appraisal Committee and resolved based on the outcome of the investigation in accordance with Employee Disci- plinary Guidelines, and hence ensures employees' rights to fair treatment in the workplace. No complaint of sexual discrimination of any kind was filed in 2019 at any of Taishin's domestic and foreign locations. In August 2019, a complaint case of sexual harassment by an employee of Taishin Bank was received by the human resources unit. After timely intervention by the human resources unit to provide assistance and investigation in accordance with relevant standards, the case was properly dealt with at the end of the same month. Taishin highly values the issues of labor protection for mothers and children. In terms of maternal protection, the company follows the “Act of Gender Equality in Employment” and the “Regulations on Subsidy and Standards for Estab- lishing Breastfeeding (Breast Milk Collection) Rooms, Childcare Facilities and Measures” to provide a comfortable and well-equipped feeding and nursing rooms for the use of employees. The rules for breastfeeding and breast milk collec- tion for female employees are clearly specified in the “Taishin Working Rules.” If an employee with a child of less than two years of age has a need for breastfeeding or breast milk collection, they will receive an additional 60 minutes per day of breastfeeding time on top of their regular rest time. If they work more than one hour of overtime, another 30 minutes of breastfeeding time is granted and considered as working time. The company lays out various maternity protection measures in its “Maternity Leave Management Standards.” In addition to one day of menstrual leave per month, 40 hours of leave for pregnancy check-ups are provided, which exceeds the requirements of the Labor Standards Act. Provide 60 days of maternity leave, 6 days of paternity leave and staff that give birth or have an abortion receive full salary when they take maternity leave, so that employees they can take care of themselves. With regard to child labor protection, we have issued the “Taishin Human Rights Protection Statement,” which lays out our position on child labor, in line with international conventions that strictly prohibit the employment of child labor under the age of 16.
