To inform you about the inquiry regarding whether the remuneration received by civil servants for concurrent positions is restricted by the "Regulations on Remuneration for Concurrent Positions of Military, Civil, and Educational Personnel" (hereinafter referred to as the "Remuneration Regulations") after the amendment of the Civil Service Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Service Act") on June 22, 111.

Explanation:
I. In accordance with the letter from the Directorate-General of Personnel Administration, Executive Yuan, dated August 22, 112, No. 40014631, with a copy of the original letter attached.

II. The aforementioned Remuneration Regulations are intended to restrict the remuneration received by military, civil, and educational personnel for concurrent positions based on legal requirements or when approved by the competent authority. In conjunction with the amendment of the Service Act, the restrictions on remuneration received by civil servants for concurrent positions are explained as follows, and all agencies (organizations) and schools are requested to review and confirm based on their respective authorities:
(I) For concurrent positions that require the approval of the service agency (organization) or school, the remuneration received shall be subject to the Remuneration Regulations, except for the situations specified in Note 9 of the Remuneration Regulations that are not restricted, and fees that were originally not restricted by the Remuneration Regulations (e.g., lecture fees, manuscript fees, review fees, attendance fees, invigilation fees, and grading fees received for concurrent teaching positions with the permission of the service agency (organization) or school).
(II) For concurrent positions that are reported to the service agency (organization) or school for record or do not require reporting, as the nature of these concurrent positions often occurs outside of statutory working hours, does not affect the primary job, and involves activities of social public welfare or non-regular, non-continuous (including one-time) matters, the Service Act has already relaxed the control density for such concurrent positions. Therefore, the remuneration for these concurrent positions is not restricted by the Remuneration Regulations. As for situations where civil servants obtain appropriate remuneration based on their personal talents outside of statutory working hours, as stipulated in the Service Act, considering that the law already specifies the circumstances under which remuneration is obtained, these are not restricted by the Remuneration Regulations.
