New Taipei City's Labor Inspection Office is warning logistics and freight companies against overworking delivery drivers as the November 11th Singles' Day shopping festival triggers a surge in online orders.
The office says drivers face heavy workloads from loading and unloading large volumes of packages and navigating complicated delivery routes.
It is reminding employers that drivers must not work more than 12 hours a day and must be given at least one regular day off every seven days.
Companies must also ensure sufficient rest between shifts and pay overtime at legally required rates if drivers work additional hours.
Companies found violating the Labor Standards Act could face fines of up to $1 million NT, and the names of offenders may also be made public.
