There were four reported cases of violating business ethics in 2023, all of which were found to be related to the same incident. However, there was no content stated in the case description, and there were no potential business risks or internal control deficiencies found. |
Human rights protection program-Management and tracking of abnormal working hours
To help employees balance their work and life, Novatek has formulated the “Working Hours and Flexible Work Regulations” and the “Regulations on Overtime Pay and Compensatory Leave” in accordance with the Labor Standards Act and related regulations. Through new employee training, regular announcements to promote statutory working hours, and the developed “attendance analysis system”, supervisors can effectively manage the working hours of the employees. If the supervisors need to work overtime due to business needs, they need to obtain the consent from the employees. When the overtime is completed, overtime pay or compensatory leave will be provided. For employees who have consistent long working hours, regular notifications are sent to remind their supervisors to understand the employees’ working conditions, working load and emotional status, and take the initiative to care for the employees’ physical and mental health as well as the conditions of their families, ensuring the employees of Novatek to achieve work-life balance through appropriate work arrangements.
