Requirement

The UoC shall ensure that all employees under the age of 18 have at least 48 consecutive hours of rest within a seven-day period.

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • Excessive working hours can have a detrimental physical and mental impact on all people, but particularly on children under the age of 18 who have not yet reached adulthood.

  • Protecting children from excessive working hours is an important part of the prevention of child labour.

Evidence of Implementation

  • age verification records

  • working hours records

  • payslips and pay records

  • young employee contracts.

Auditors Should Confirm

  • whether anyone under the age of 18 is employed at the UoC;

  • that information in contracts, age verification records and payslips match;

  • young employees’ description of their working hours.
