The Ministry of Labor says, wedding leave will be extended to 14 days starting next month.
This comes after President Lai Ching-te previously announced a slew of policy changes aimed at upping the birth rate, including increasing time off for weddings.
The MOL says today that the additional 6 days of salary will be paid by the government.
Parental leave is also set to increase, while other family-related forms of leave will also become more flexible.
Under the old rules, most wotkers would get 8 days off for getting married, to be used within 3 months of their wedding.
Under the new system set to take effect next month, employers will still be responsible for paying employees' salaries during those 8 days, but the government will subsidize the additional 6 days after employers pay them out.
MOL officials say, application procedures will be released once the new policy takes effect.
