Decent work Clause Samples

The "Decent work" clause establishes standards to ensure fair, safe, and equitable working conditions for all individuals involved in a contract or project. It typically requires compliance with labor laws, fair wages, reasonable working hours, and safe workplace practices, and may also address issues such as non-discrimination and the right to collective bargaining. By setting these expectations, the clause helps protect workers' rights and well-being, while also reducing the risk of legal disputes and reputational harm for the contracting parties.
Decent work. 1. The Parties reaffirm their commitment to achieving full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities. They shall promote, to that end, the Decent Work Agenda as set out in the 2008 International Labour Organisation (ILO) Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization. 2. The Parties reaffirm their obligations as members of the ILO and their commitments under the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-Up. They reaffirm their commitment to social dialogue and to the promotion and effective implementation of the internationally recognised core labour standards, as defined by the relevant ILO Conventions and Protocols on the freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, the abolition of forced labour and ending of modern slavery and human trafficking, the elimination of child labour with priority given to the worst forms, minimum age at work, equal remuneration and non-discrimination in respect of employment. They shall make sustained and continuous efforts to ratify or accede to, as appropriate, those Conventions and Protocols if they have not yet done so. 3. The Parties shall promote safe and secure working environments for all workers. They shall adopt and implement measures and policies regarding occupational safety and health, both in the formal and informal economy, and shall work towards establishing and maintaining an effective labour inspection system, in line with international labour standards as defined by the ILO.
