The Act of Gender Equality in Employment (the “AGEE”) was enacted to protect gender equality in the workplace and promote the spirit of gender equality as enshrined in Article 7 of the Constitution. Chapter II of the AGEE provides that employers shall not discriminate against employees because of their gender or sexual orientation when hiring, evaluating, promoting, providing education, training and welfare, paying wages and in the case of retirement, discharge, severance and termination. Employers must also implement measures for preventing and correcting sexual harassment and establish complaint procedures and disciplinary measures. Employers who are found to be in violation of the AGEE may be fined between N.T. $20,000 and $1,500,000, depending on the offence. The names and titles of offenders and their supervisors will also be put on public notice and they will have to make improvements within a specified period. Failure to do so will result in further punishment.
性別工作平等法（即「AGEE」）的制定是為了保護職場的性別平等，促進憲法第7條規定的性別平等精神。性別工作平等法第二章規定，雇主在雇用、評估、晉升、提供教育、培訓和福利、支付工資以及在退休、解雇、遣散和終止契約時，不得因員工的性別或性取向而歧視他們。雇主還必須實施防止和矯正性騷擾的措施，並建立投訴程序和懲戒措施。雇主違反性別工作平等法將被處以新台幣20,000至1,500,000元之罰鍰，具體數額則視情況而定。違反規定者及其主管的姓名和職稱將被公告，且其必須於指定期間內進行改善，否則將導致進一步的處罰。
