CODE OF CONDUCT
EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP: 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.
NONDISCRIMINATION: No person shall be subject to any discrimination in employment,
including hiring, compensation, advancement, discipline, termination or retirement, on the basis
of gender, race, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, political opinion, social
group or ethnic origin.
HARASSMENT OR ABUSE: Every employee shall be treated with respect and dignity. No
employee shall be subject to any physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse.
FORCED LABOR: There shall be no use of forced labor, including prison labor, indentured
labor, bonded labor or other forms of forced labor.
CHILD LABOR: No person shall be employed under the age of 15 or under the age for
completion of compulsory education, whichever is higher.
FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING: Employers shall
recognize and respect the right of employees to freedom of association and collective bargaining.
HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENT: Employers shall provide a safe and healthy
workplace setting to prevent accidents and injury to health arising out of, linked with, or
occurring in the course of work or as a result of the operation of employers’ facilities. Employers
shall adopt responsible measures to mitigate negative impacts that the workplace has on the
environment.
HOURS OF WORK: Employers shall not require workers to work more than the regular and
overtime hours allowed by the law of the country where the workers are employed. The regular
work week shall not exceed 48 hours. Employers shall allow workers at least 24 consecutive
hours of rest in every seven-day period. All overtime work shall be consensual. Employers shall
not request overtime on a regular basis and shall compensate all overtime work at a premium
rate. Other than in exceptional circumstances, the sum of regular and overtime hours in a week
shall not exceed 60 hours.
COMPENSATION: Every worker has a right to compensation for a regular work week that is
sufficient to meet the worker’s basic needs and provide some discretionary income. Employers
shall pay at least the minimum wage or the appropriate prevailing wage, whichever is higher,
comply with all legal requirements on wages, and provide any benefits required by law or
contract. Where compensation does not meet workers’ basic needs and provide some
discretionary income, each employer shall work with the FLA to take appropriate actions that
seek to progressively realize a level of compensation that does.
