Answer: While the employer may appoint a representative to act on his behalf, the foreign worker in question is required to show up in person for the application to ensure his employment privileges. I. Article 3 of the Verification Procedure regarding the termination of contract for Class B foreign workers states that the bureau shall be responsible for: 1. Verifying the basic information of both parties based on the notification and contact telephone or face-to-face interview to determine their real intentions. Before the interview is over, both parties shall be informed of the complaint hotline for Class B foreign workers. 2. If the interviewer is unable to determine the actual intention of the Class B foreign workers in question after the telephone/face-to-face interview, the bureau may request both parties (if the employer is unable to be present, a designated representative must produce a statement of authorization) to proceed to have a designated location for verification where the local competent authority shall acknowledge that the employer (or a representative) has terminated the employment contract with the Class B foreign worker in question. Should any party fail to attend the event for any valid reason, he would thereby forfeit their right to state their opinions and the competent authority shall handle the matter accordingly. II. In an effort to safeguard foreign workers’ employment privileges, New Taipei City Government has adopted interview-verification procedure as the official method to determine the actual intentions of related parties. Out of the considerations that employers might be occupied with their business, the bureau allows employers to designate representatives to act on their behalves for the verification procedure. However, foreign workers involved must be present in person for the occasion.
