Explanation:
1. In accordance with the Taoyuan City Government's Department of Personnel's submission of the Ministry of Personnel's Order No. 11155155782 dated December 8, 2022, and attached are copies of the original order and attachments.

2. According to this order, individuals applying for leave of absence without pay under Article 4, Paragraph 1, Subparagraphs 2 and 3, and Article 5, Paragraph 1, Subparagraphs 1 to 6 of the Regulations Governing Leave of Absence Without Pay for Public Servants may engage in other work unrelated to the reasons for their leave of absence during the period of leave, and do not need to obtain consent or be notified by the competent authority as per Article 15 of the Civil Service Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Act"). However, the competent authority shall comprehensively review whether the original reasons for leave of absence without pay have disappeared based on the actual circumstances of each case, in accordance with Article 7, Paragraph 4 of the Regulations Governing Leave of Absence Without Pay for Public Servants.

3. Furthermore, if relevant professional management laws impose other prohibitions on concurrently holding public service positions, such restrictions shall still apply. Public servants on leave of absence without pay still retain their status as public servants and must not violate Articles 5 to 7, 14, and other relevant provisions of the Act.

4. Additionally, for insured persons under the Civil Service Insurance Act who are on leave of absence without pay, they are no longer considered currently employed personnel and are not subject to mandatory insurance under the Civil Service Insurance Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Insurance Act"). According to Article 10, Paragraphs 1 to 3 of the Insurance Act, they must choose to withdraw from insurance during their leave of absence without pay or continue to be insured by paying their own premiums. Once a choice is made, it cannot be changed. If they choose to continue insurance and simultaneously participate in other occupational social insurance, they must apply for withdrawal from insurance retroactively from the date of participation in other occupational social insurance within 60 days from the date of duplicate insurance, and may be refunded the premiums paid. If no withdrawal application is submitted or if the application is overdue, insurance benefits will not be provided for any insurance accidents that occur during the period of duplicate insurance. Years of service during that period will also not be recognized, except as otherwise provided by the Insurance Act. The premiums paid will not be refunded. This is for your information.
