Judges Act Article 74

A judge who has reached the anniversary in serving duties by the end of the year, received excellent assessment, and has not been subject to any criminal penalty or disciplinary action, shall be promoted by one grade and received a bonus equal to the total amount of one-month remuneration; once the highest pay scale for the appointed position is reached, the bonus award shall be equal to the total amount of two-month remuneration. A judge who has served for six months but less than a year, and has not been received any criminal penalty or disciplinary action, shall receive half of the bonus award. A judge who has excellent assessment for four consecutive years and has not received any criminal penalty or disciplinary action shall be, in addition to the bonus award referred to in the preceding paragraph, promoted by two grades.For a judge or a judicial administration staff being transferred (or returned) to each other's position within a calendar year, the year of service during the transfer (or return) may be combined in the calculation of the year-end duty assessment or performance evaluation.The related provisions with respect to grade promotion referred to in Paragraphs 1 and 2 do not apply to the assistant and probationary judges whose scores failed to pass the performance review.
