Payroll in Taiwan

Payroll in Taiwan runs in TWD (New Taiwan dollar). Monthly payroll cycle is standard. No statutory 13th-month bonus, but a Lunar New Year bonus is a widespread market practice, not a legal requirement. Statutory employer contributions apply. Gracemark operates it end-to-end, humans, not tickets.
