Unpaid leave appears hidden? UMC semi-mandatory employee holiday break

The deteriorating beauty in Europe made the Hsinchu Science Park's unpaid leave concerns appear again at the end of 2008. Recently, wafer foundry giant UMC has forced some employees to leave for some fabs. Although it is less than unpaid leave, it can be sniffed. The pressure on the capacity utilization rate of the foundry industry continues to decline; UMC official confirmed that the plant manager decided to encourage employees to take leave because of the low capacity utilization rate of the plant. However, it is still difficult to clarify the economic environment. Not to the point where unpaid leave is required.

After the panel and solar industry have spread unpaid leave, or encouraged employees to complete the annual renewal strategy, the foundry industry also reported that because of the low utilization rate, it has to resort to the strategy of encouraging employees to take turns taking turns. However, even if it is only a recess, the unpaid leave is still shrouded in the entire science park.

UMC pointed out that some plants do not have a high capacity utilization rate, so employees are encouraged to take vacations and hope that employees can absorb the special vacations that have accumulated for many years. This is one of the ways in which the company does cost control, and the progress of the workshops is basically It is the director's decision.

As for the way to let employees digest their vacation first, is it a precursor to unpaid leave? UMC denies that the unpaid leave involves employee benefits and will not be implemented rashly, and the company has just raised its overall salary level and will not easily make unpaid leave decisions at this time.

UMC was very conservative about the third-quarter financial targets in the Falun Dafa Conference. The outside world even heard that the foundry orders have continued to be revised. UMC has clarified that each factory is producing? The usage rate of Q and Q is not the same. Basically, the current situation is far from the company's implementation of unpaid leave. However, if the economy continues to deteriorate, it does not rule out further cost control strategies.

UMC put forward its financial forecast for the third quarter in the Law Conference. Not only has revenue experienced negative growth for the first time in 10 years, but it is estimated that it will decline 11% to 13% from the second quarter, and the operating profit rate will drop to 1-3%. Capacity utilization fell to 71-73%.

UMC stated that at present, the entire industry chain is in a state of digesting inventory, but the key is that the terminal demand is too weak. If only the inventory problem is concerned, in fact, as long as it takes 1 quarter of the time, the supply and demand of the industrial chain can return to normal, but the current global economic situation is quite uncertain. High, we must further observe whether the 4th boom can be warmed up.

UMC’s shipments in the second quarter of 2011 (about 8 wafers) was 1.15 million, which was 2.2% higher than that in the second quarter. The overall capacity utilization rate was 87%, while the overall production capacity in the second quarter was 1.33 million. In the first quarter, 1.26 million tablets grew by 5.5%. It is estimated that the production capacity in the third quarter will grow slightly to 1.358 million.
