Common sense has now prevailed though and on March 31, two government offices have recognized that the AETs are employees.

1. The Labor Standards Inspection Office formally recognized the eligibility of Ms X’s case as an injury covered by the Workers’ Accident Compensation Insurance. In short, she is recognized as an employee.

2. The Public Employment Security Office formally recognize the eligibility of Mr Y for enrollment in Unemployment Insurance. He too is recognized as a worker.
