To inform you about the Ministry of Personnel's Order No. 11155155781 dated December 8, 2022.

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 its 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 Civil Servants' Leave of Absence Without Pay 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, in accordance with Article 7, Paragraph 4 of the Regulations Governing Civil Servants' Leave of Absence Without Pay, comprehensively review the actual circumstances of each case to determine if the original reasons for the leave of absence have ceased to exist.

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

4. Additionally, for civil servants who are insured under the Civil Service Insurance Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Insurance Act") and are on leave of absence without pay, they are no longer considered currently employed personnel and are not subject to mandatory insurance under 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 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 the paid premiums may be refunded. If no withdrawal application is submitted or if the application is overdue, any insurance accident occurring during the period of duplicate insurance will not be compensated, and the years of service during that period will not be recognized, unless otherwise stipulated by the Insurance Act. The premiums paid during that period will not be refunded. This is for your information.

5. The Ministry of Personnel's Order No. 10953034301 dated November 30, 2020 (Taoyuan City Government's Order No. 1090309343 dated December 8, 2020, is hereby acknowledged) and any previous interpretations that conflict with this order shall cease to apply from December 8, 2022.
