Labour Issues Clause Samples
The 'Labour Issues' clause sets out the responsibilities and expectations regarding labor practices and workforce management within a contractual relationship. It typically addresses compliance with employment laws, fair treatment of workers, and may require adherence to specific standards such as health and safety regulations or non-discrimination policies. By clearly outlining these obligations, the clause helps prevent disputes related to labor practices and ensures that all parties maintain ethical and legal standards in their employment activities.
