According to Chinese media such as ET Today, a family in Shinju, Taiwan, hired a female caregiver from Indonesia five months ago to care for an elderly woman with mobility difficulties.
However, this caregiver recently gave birth to a child alone in her grandmother's bed.
At the time, the grandmother was sitting in a wheelchair with her back to the bed, but when she turned her head in surprise at the baby's crying, the caregiver gave birth.
CCTV installed in the house captured the birth, and the family members were shocked when they saw it.
I was already pregnant before I was hired as a caregiver, but I didn't let them know.
In Taiwan, no law requires migrant workers to take a pre-employment pregnancy test. However, it turned out that the woman submitted her friend's data, although she had to undergo a physical examination in her own country before entering Taiwan. In addition, after entering Taiwan, it was found that he hid his pregnancy by wearing only loose clothes.
The family suddenly took care of the woman and her baby.
According to local regulations, employers who fire pregnant or delivered workers can be fined up to $1.5 million (about 63 million won) and their eligibility to hire new workers for two years.
Taiwan's International Family Employers Association, which arranged the caregivers, confirmed that the baby's father was still in Indonesia and promised to return the baby to his father.
Local netizens understand why employers cannot fire pregnant workers or mothers, but in this case it is unfair to employers", "Some migrant workers are exploiting social benefits such as health insurance.", He is responding by saying, `Let's change the law.'
