The ETI Base Code
The ETI Base Code is founded on the conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and
is an internationally recognised code of labour practice.
1. Employment is freely chosen
1.1 There is no forced, bonded or involuntary prison labour.
1.2 Workers are not required to lodge "deposits" or their identity papers with their employer and are free
to leave their employer after reasonable notice.
2. Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining are
respected
2.1 Workers, without distinction, have the right to join or form trade unions of their own choosing and to
bargain collectively.
2.2 The employer adopts an open attitude towards the activities of trade unions and their organisational
activities.
2.3 Workers representatives are not discriminated against and have access to carry out their
representative functions in the workplace.
2.4 Where the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining is restricted under law, the
employer facilitates, and does not hinder, the development of parallel means for independent and free
association and bargaining.
3. Working conditions are safe and hygienic
3.1 A safe and hygienic working environment shall be provided, bearing in mind the prevailing knowledge
of the industry and of any specific hazards. Adequate steps shall be taken to prevent accidents and
injury to health arising out of, associated with, or occurring in the course of work, by minimising, so far
as is reasonably practicable, the causes of hazards inherent in the working environment.
3.2 Workers shall receive regular and recorded health and safety training, and such training shall be
repeated for new or reassigned workers.
3.3 Access to clean toilet facilities and to potable water, and, if appropriate, sanitary facilities for food
storage shall be provided.
3.4 Accommodation, where provided, shall be clean, safe, and meet the basic needs of the workers.
3.5 The company observing the code shall assign responsibility for health and safety to a senior
management representative.
4. Child labour shall not be used
4.1 There shall be no new recruitment of child labour.
4.2 Companies shall develop or participate in and contribute to policies and programmes which provide
for the transition of any child found to be performing child labour to enable her or him to attend and
remain in quality education until no longer a child; "child" and "child labour" being defined in the
appendices.
4.3 Children and young persons under 18 shall not be employed at night or in hazardous conditions.
4.4 These policies and procedures shall conform to the provisions of the relevant ILO standards.
5. Living wages are paid
5.1 Wages and benefits paid for a standard working week meet, at a minimum, national legal standards
or industry benchmark standards, whichever is higher. In any event wages should always be enough to
meet basic needs and to provide some discretionary income.
5.2 All workers shall be provided with written and understandable Information about their employment
conditions in respect to wages before they enter employment and about the particulars of their wages
for the pay period concerned each time that they are paid.
5.3 Deductions from wages as a disciplinary measure shall not be permitted nor shall any deductions
from wages not provided for by national law be permitted without the expressed permission of the
worker concerned. All disciplinary measures should be recorded.
6. Working hours are not excessive
6.1 Working hours comply with national laws and benchmark industry standards, whichever affords
greater protection.
6.2 In any event, workers shall not on a regular basis be required to work in excess of 48 hours per week
and shall be provided with at least one day off for every 7 day period on average. Overtime shall be
voluntary, shall not exceed 12 hours per week, shall not be demanded on a regular basis and shall always
be compensated at a premium rate.
7. No discrimination is practised
7.1 There is no discrimination in hiring, compensation, access to training, promotion, termination or
retirement based on race, caste, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender, marital status, sexual
orientation, union membership or political affiliation.

8.1 To every extent possible work performed must be on the basis of recognised employment
relationship established through national law and practice.
8.2 Obligations to employees under labour or social security laws and regulations arising from the regular
employment relationship shall not be avoided through the use of labour-only contracting, subcontracting,
or home-working arrangements, or through apprenticeship schemes where there is no real
intent to impart skills or provide regular employment, nor shall any such obligations be avoided through
the excessive use of fixed-term contracts of employment.
9. No harsh or inhumane treatment is allowed
9.1 Physical abuse or discipline, the threat of physical abuse, sexual or other harassment and verbal
abuse or other forms of intimidation shall be prohibited.
