Involuntary labor of any kind is prohibited throughout the supply chain. All employees should understand their right to both enter into and terminate their employment as they wish.

All employees should receive compensation that is at least the minimum legal salary or the local industry standard. This is decided by whichever one is higher. Employers should abide by this rule for any employees throughout the entire supply chain. Employees are also entitled to all benefits which are required by law. This includes compensation for overtime work and paid leave of absence. Employers should provide their workers with a wage statement once a month at minimum. This statement should include: time worked, earnings per day, hours of overtime and rate for overtime, allowances and bonuses, applicable deductions.

Employees are free to start or join organizations and associations of their choosing.

Employers are required to cultivate a healthy and safe work environment complying with all applicable regulations.
