Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) employee bonuses are likely to grow more than 30 percent this year, in line with the past few years as the company’s profits continue to set new records, an anonymous source cited TSMC chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家) as saying yesterday. TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, is committed to taking care of its workers, the source said, citing Wei’s meeting with employees yesterday morning. Wei also expressed gratitude to employees for their contribution to the company’s improving bottom line, the source added.

Since 2023, TSMC’s employee bonuses have grown at an annual rate of 30 percent or more, and as long as employee performance stays strong, annual bonuses for this year are expected to grow at a similar pace, the source quoted Wei as saying. The meeting with employees was scheduled after viral online speculation that TSMC would adjust its employee bonus distribution mechanism by cutting this year’s bonus payout, to keep more funds on hand to meet the company’s plans to aggressively expand production.
