wages or failing to pay overtime wages for working on a rest day or holiday) of the Labor Standards Act. In addition, the MOL further increased the number of investigated employers in the student worker inspection special project to 1,500 employers in 2019. Up to August 31, 2019, a total of 1,179 employers in the special project had been inspected, and 84 employers were still found to be in violation of the regulations. The MOL further implemented regular supervisory inspection on the businesses most frequently employing student workers. As of August 31, 2019, a total of 4,243 regular employers had been inspected, and the total number of violating employers reached 850 (20%), indicating that the prevalence of violations still calls for further improvement. (2) There have been numerous reports that vocational and technological colleges have been enrolling overseas students through human resource agencies in recent years. However, there is a lack of connection between the work content performed at the company for internships and the study in the subjects they are ostensibly learning at school, and students are in fact forced to sign illegal part-time job agreements, work overtime, have their passports held by employers, or even be exploited by the school and human resource agencies with improper deductions and other issues, significantly damaging the image of our nation’s internationalism and higher education. The government must eliminate schools enrolling overseas students through illegal brokers, assuming the name of school studies for labor in practice, or even making students into cheap labor with overtime work. It must stop those making illegal profits through such improper practices that lead to the criticism “deceptive internship, unfair work treatment in practice.” After the investigation and controls implemented by the Control Yuan, the MOE has established a complaint channel exclusively for overseas students, as well as a “task force for guiding universities and colleges enrolling overseas students” to integrate cross-department resources and to jointly assist overseas students in their safe study in Taiwan. (3) The MOE’s supervision and management of schools’ enrollment of general overseas students are considered relatively weak compared to that of the New Southbound International Programs of Industry-Academia Cooperation organized by schools. The cases of violation of labor regulations, where overseas students enrolled by schools became “student workers” in recent years, are mostly schools for the general foreign student studying abroad in Taiwan, rather than the New Southbound International Programs of IndustryAcademia Cooperation or under other new southbound policy related programs. Accordingly, to eliminate such improper cases of exploiting “student workers,” the government should establish a cross-department supervisory system for school enrolling general overseas students in order to protect the rights and interests of these students in Taiwan. 78
