The standard salary for entry-level employees is higher than local regulatory salary requirements, and 100% of senior management at operations in Taiwan are Taiwanese residents.

In 2025, the total workforce stood at 1,347 employees, reflecting a balanced gender ratio and the effectiveness of a friendly workplace. By employment type, full-time employees accounted for 98.7% and non-full-time employees for 1.3%. This high-quality, stable labor structure demonstrates the Company's exceptional resilience and commitment to human capital management. iST is dedicated to building an open and inclusive workplace, continuously expanding our diverse talent pool to inject multifaceted perspectives and innovative momentum into the organization, thereby transforming diverse thinking into a substantive driver of corporate growth.

Each year, iST formulates compensation strategies based on changes in company operations and industry environment. iST upholds gender equality, with salary determination based on individual’s ability and job requirements, adhering to principles of reasonableness and fairness, without any gender-based differential treatment, to ensure that the compensation policy is competitive externally and fair internally. We provide our employees with generous bonuses and incentives, a high-quality work environment, and a comprehensive benefits system, enabling them to achieve a balanced development in work, life, and leisure.

iST values talent, employee rewards closely linked with individual performance, with annual salary adjustments that outperform industry standards. The Company provides competitive compensation levels and implements a fair remuneration system, regardless of gender, age, race, religion, nationality, physical or mental disabilities, etc. Additionally, it implements a diverse incentive bonus system, aligning employees with the success of the Company's operations.

iST provides competitive welfare policies to fulfill its commitment to employee care, ensuring that our colleagues can pursue value creation for the Company without distraction. The Company has established a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the "Labor Standards Act" and formed a Labor Pension Reserve Supervision Committee to oversee and manage the contribution and disbursement of pension reserves. Each month, the Company contributes 2% of total salaries to the pension fund, which is deposited into a dedicated account at the Bank of Taiwan. On an annual basis, professional accountants are engaged to perform actuarial valuations of the pension reserve, and these results have been certified by CPAs to ensure adequate funding. For employees eligible for retirement under the old system of the Labor Standards Act, pension benefits are calculated based on their years of service and average salary for the six months prior to retirement. Since July 1, 2005, in accordance with the Labor Pension Act, the Company has contributed 6% of each applicable employee's monthly salary to their individual pension account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. In addition to the statutory insurance system, iST also provides comprehensive group insurance for its employees. The premiums are fully covered by the Company, including life insurance, accident insurance, health insurance, and cancer insurance, enhancing overall employee protection.
