Aviation News The COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread. In order to save operating costs, Taiwan EVA Air announced on April 23 that it will launch a new wave of employee leave incentives called "Specialized Personal Leave Version 2.0". As long as you take 3 days of personal leave, you will receive 1 day of salary and other similar rewards.

According to Taiwanese media reports, EVA Air has encouraged employees to take vacations since February. In mid-March, it added "specialized personal leave" for employees in Taiwan. You can apply for up to 14 days per month, and it applies to air and ground staff. Recently, the "Specialized Personal Leave Version 2.0" for ground staff has been re-launched, while maintaining the relaxed application requirements for leave and "stay without pay". As for employees outside Taiwan, it will be handled in accordance with local laws and regulations.

EVA Air stated that the "Specialized Personal Leave Version 2.0" for ground staff is an incentive. If you apply for special personal leave for three days in a single month, you will receive one day's salary. If you apply for personal leave for six days, you will receive two days' salary. If you apply for personal leave for nine days, you will receive three days' salary.

As for flight attendants, in addition to the normal holidays of about 9 to 10 days per month, due to flight cancellations and reduced demand for service dispatch, additional paid holidays of varying numbers of days will be given.
EVA Air emphasizes that any employee's application for special leave or stay without pay must be approved by the department supervisor based on business and manpower conditions.
EVA Air stated that as the epidemic continues to develop, flights are currently only maintaining about 20% capacity, and there is no timetable for recovery. At this stage, the company only encourages colleagues to arrange more vacations, work with the company to tide over this difficult operating period, and use the time to enrich themselves to make the best preparations for taking off again after the epidemic.
