Fair Labor Association (FLA) Workplace Code of Conduct FLA-Principle.1: Employment Relationship (FLA Workplace Code Principle 1)

Principle 1: EMPLOYERS SHALL ADOPT AND ADHERE TO RULES AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT THAT RESPECT WORKERS AND, AT A MINIMUM, SAFEGUARD THEIR RIGHTS UNDER NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LABOR AND SOCIAL SECURITY LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Compliance Benchmarks include: written employment relationships including written terms of employment in language the worker understands; legally binding contracts; protection against arbitrary termination; legally compliant social security + worker insurance / health coverage; respect for the principle that the employment relationship gives rise to obligations independent of any subcontract or other arrangement; the employer is the principal employer for all workers regardless of contract form (regular + part-time + seasonal + casual + temporary + agency-supplied + apprentice + worker classified as 'independent contractor' where in substance the relationship is employment). The Employment Relationship principle establishes the foundational rule that protections of the Workplace Code apply across all forms of worker engagement.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 2 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • OECDMNE-4 Employment and Industrial Relations: Labour Rights and Working Conditions
  • UNGP-12 Scope of Human Rights to Be Respected

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
