Gender Pay Ratio
The Company applies identical salary determination standards for employees of all job levels regardless of gender, thereby upholding gender equality and eliminating discrimination. In 2024, the overall male-to-female salary ratio was equal. However, among general employees, the average salary of male employees was slightly higher than that of female employees. This difference was primarily attributable to male employees participating in rotating night shifts, which entitled them to higher night shift allowances.
Parental Leave Without Pay
In accordance with the Labor Standards Act and the Gender Equality in Employment Act, East Tender Optoelectronics allows employees who have completed at least six months of service to apply for parental leave without pay for each child until the child reaches the age of three, regardless of gender.
Education and Training

Meanwhile, external training programs are arranged according to business needs to introduce new knowledge and enhance practical capabilities.
Through well-structured training programs, the Company supports employees in strengthening their professional foundation, continuously acquiring new knowledge and skills, and ultimately improving work efficiency and overall performance.
In 2024, the total number of company training hours reached 128 hours.
Performance Evaluation and Career Development
Performance evaluation is not only a basis for assessing employees’ work results, but also a key process for cultivating and identifying talent within the company. Through a regular evaluation mechanism, the Company can comprehensively understand employees’ annual performance and development potential, serving as an important reference for future talent training, career development planning, and job assignments.
East Tender Optoelectronics conducts performance evaluations in accordance with the existing assessment system. Department supervisors complete performance appraisal forms with fairness and objectivity to ensure consistency and impartiality throughout the process. The results of the evaluation are used as a basis for promotion, salary adjustments, and bonus distribution, while also motivating employees to actively engage in their work, strengthen personal performance, and contribute to the Company’s overall growth and development.
