Besides forewarning employees, management is also required to give "notification" to the government. That is to say, seven days before the plant closes, management is required to give a complete list of employees and their personal data to the local labor and employment guidance agencies, so that the government can notify workers by mail of employment services that are available. However, this provision is only honored sporadically.
雇主除了須對員工「預告」外，對政府也有「通報」的義務，也就是說，在關廠前七天，廠方應該將所有被資遣員工的姓名資料，列冊向當地的勞工就業輔導機構通報，讓政府單位可以發函通知這些被資遣員工，前來接受輔導。
