Requirement

The UoC shall not require employees to reside in employee accommodation as a condition of employment for easily accessible sites. **

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • The UoC may provide housing for employees that meets the terms of Criterion 3.11: Employee Accommodation.

  • When the UoC provides housing, whether it owns, leases or contracts the accommodation from a service provider, the UoC communicates to employees that living in this housing is optional for them.

  • The freedom for employees to choose where they live respects employees’ dignity and autonomy and prevents coercion and potentially trapping them in exploitative conditions.

Evidence of Implementation

  • employee contracts.

Auditors Should Confirm

  • whether the worksite is easily accessible via public or private transport

  • how many employees live in accommodation provided by the UoC

  • that the decision to reside in accommodation provided by the UoC is the employee’s own choice
