Salary and Benefits｜E Ink ESG

E Ink values the efforts and contributions of every employee. In addition to providing a competitive salary system, thoughtful benefits, and a quality workplace, the Company actively cultivates a friendly workplace. Diverse and motivating reward mechanisms are implemented to attract exceptional talents worldwide. The salary of newcomer is determined based on the job attributes, educational background, professional knowledge and skills, and work experiences, without any differentiation based on gender, race, religion or ethnicity, physical disabilities, political stance, marital status, or membership in labor unions or associations.

E Ink considers its employees as the most important asset, providing each one with an excellent working environment and developing competitive compensation policies based on global human resource development strategies. For example, in Taiwan, according to the 2022 information from the Taiwan Stock Exchange's Market Observation Post System, E Ink ranks first in the over-the-counter optoelectronics industry and in the top 2% of the listed optoelectronics industry in terms of overall salary benefits, average salary for full-time non-management employees, and median salary. E Ink's average employee welfare expenses are approximately 43% higher than those of listed optoelectronics peers and 53% higher than those of over-the-counter peers. At other locations, E Ink adheres to a group-wide, consistent approach to salary and benefits management, maintaining the Company's compensation policies while adapting to local conditions. This ensures that employees worldwide receive fair and competitive compensation and benefits in compliance with local laws and regulations.

In addition to providing a sound compensation structure, labor and health insurance, E Ink offers comprehensive benefit programs that include provisions for pre-vacation and special leave, parental care, health check, and counseling services. These benefits, combined with the efforts of the Welfare Committee, promote a harmonious workplace and work-life balance for employees, fostering a sense of unity and engagement within the Company.

To encourage employees to achieve a balance between work and life, E Ink supports the establishment of various interest-based clubs, such as sports, academics, community service, and leisure. The Welfare Committee provides financial assistance to these clubs, allowing them to hire external professional speakers and coaches in their respective fields to provide professional guidance. This helps to energize the club activities and allows employees to participate in these activities to relieve stress and enhance their quality of life.
