Employers dodge disability quotasBy Hsiao Hsi-huei 蕭錫惠In a society that prides itself on the rule of law, the presence of avenues for legally evading responsibility is more dangerous than the act of breaking the law itself. The key issue lies in allowing employers who fail to meet their quota to pay a non-compliance fee instead. These are primarily distributed as subsidies for employers of disabled people to support job redesign, occupational training, or jobseeker services. Rather than creating opportunities, public funds are used to compensate for unfulfilled responsibilities. The non-compliance fee must be raised to a level that creates real pressure.
