Requirement

The UoC shall ensure that any accommodation provided for employees or their family: a) is according to applicable legal requirements; and b) has adequate safety provisions; and c) is regularly maintained and kept in good working order; and d) is clean and hygienic; and e) allows for adequate privacy, including separation by gender if required; and f) meets the basic needs of the employees and their families; and g) is sufficient for the number of people using them.

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • Rates are ‘reasonable’ when:

    • below or comparable to similar accommodation available on the market

    • not more than a reasonable proportion of the employee’s income.

  • Where an employee or employee and their family plans to live in employer-provided accommodation:

    • the level of rent is a part of the contracting agreement

    • the site is able to provide a calculation and rationale for the level of rent.

    • If an employee lives in employer-provided accommodation and has an early termination of their contract (for example, due to gross misconduct), they should be entitled to a reasonable period of time to vacate the premises.

Evidence of Implementation

  • records of rental agreements and payments

  • employee contracts

  • payslips.

Auditors Should Confirm

  • the costs of any accommodation;

  • average local rental rates;

  • any additional charges for the provision of water and electricity, which should not be more than what employees would have to pay if they stayed outside the employer-provided accommodation.
