When a worker is undergoing treatment and recuperation due to occupational accidents, according to Article 6 of the “Regulations of Leave-Taking of Workers”, the employer should grant occupational injury and sick leave, and there is no limitation on the duration of such leave. The workers' inability to work during the occupational injury and sick leave cannot be considered as absence from work and should not have an impact on the distribution of year-end performance bonuses or opportunities for salary advancement.

Workers should apply to their employer for occupational injury and sick leave according to Article 6 of the “Regulations of Leave-Taking of Workers”: “In the event of disability, injury, or sickness on account of an occupational accident, a worker shall be entitled to occupational injury and sick leave during the period of medical treatment or recuperation”. They should follow the leave procedures and submit relevant supporting documents in accordance with Article 10 of the Regulations. According to Article 88 of the "Labor Occupational Accident Insurance and Protection Act": "Before the occupational accident is determined, the worker concerned may request for ordinary sick leave first. When the said ordinary sick leave expires, the employer shall regard the worker as on leave without pay and give the said worker occupational sick leave once the occupational accident is determined". The employer shall grant occupational injury and sick leaves during the period of treatment and recuperation of workers who suffer from disabilities, injuries or diseases caused by occupational accidents. During the period of occupational injury and sick leave, the employer should still pay the workers their original salaries.
