{{ $t('FEZ002') }} Personnel Office|
To inform you about the case where civil servants are not allowed to concurrently serve as professional drivers of various vehicle types.
Explanation:
1. Processed in accordance with the Ministry of Civil Service's letter dated October 2, 2019, No. 1084860352.
A copy of the original letter is attached.
2. Article 14, Paragraph 1 of the Civil Service Act (hereinafter referred to as the Act) stipulates that civil servants,
except as otherwise provided by law, shall not concurrently hold other public offices or engage in other businesses.
Furthermore, according to the spirit of the Ministry of Civil Service's letter dated April 8, 1986, No. 75台銓華參字第17445號,
the term "business" in the aforementioned provision, based on past individual interpretations by the Judicial Yuan,
refers to professions that require a license to practice and are subject to supervision by the competent authority, such as physicians.
In addition, if the nature of the work interferes with the primary duties or dignity of the position,
it is not permitted under the spirit of the law regarding concurrent employment.
3. In recent years, new types of professional driving services (such as Uber and diversified taxi services) have emerged.
There have been inquiries from civil servants to the Ministry of Civil Service regarding whether they can concurrently serve as professional drivers of various vehicle types during their off-duty hours.
According to the Road Traffic Safety Rules and the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act, drivers operating commercial vehicles for business or using driving as a profession
are considered professional drivers and must obtain a professional driver's license to do so.
Furthermore, this professional driver's license must be regularly reviewed by the competent authority.
Therefore, the aforementioned professional drivers (including those operating Uber, diversified taxis, etc.)
whether they operate commercial vehicles for business independently or are employed as drivers,
are considered "businesses" as referred to in Article 14, Paragraph 1 of the Act.
Consequently, except as otherwise provided by law, civil servants shall not concurrently engage in such businesses.
