1. POLICY STATEMENT

Paisley Secretarial Services Ltd T/A Allstaff commits to developing and adopting a proactive approach to tackling hidden labour exploitation.

Hidden labour exploitation is exploitation of job applicants or workers by third party individuals or gangs other than the employer or labour provider, including rogue individuals working within these businesses but without the knowledge of management. It includes forced labour and human trafficking for labour exploitation; payment for work-finding services and work related exploitation such as forced use of accommodation. It is understood that it is often well hidden by the perpetrators with victims, if they perceive themselves as such, reluctant to come forward.

2. POLICY COMMITMENTS

Paisley Secretarial Services Ltd T/A Allstaff shall:

  • Accept that job finding fees are a business cost and will not allow these to be paid by job applicants. We will not use any individual or organisation to source and supply workers without confirming that workers are not being charged a work finding fee and that the supplier is licensed by the Fair Work Agency (FWA) if the supply is in the regulated sectors.
  • Ensure that all staff responsible for directly recruiting workers are aware of issues around third-party labour exploitation and signs to look for and have signed appropriate Complier Principles.
  • Ensure that labour sourcing, recruitment and worker placement processes are under the control of trusted and competent staff members.
  • Adopt a proactive approach to reporting suspicions of hidden worker exploitation to the FWA.
  • Provide information on tackling “Hidden Labour Exploitation” to our workforce through inductions and training.
  • Encourage candidates and staff to report cases of hidden third-party labour exploitation, provide the means to do so and investigate and act on reports appropriately.
  • Positively encourage and support employees and candidates to report such exploitation which may occur within their communities and inform the best ways to report any case.
  • Monitor referrals of applicants to Allstaff and report any suspected unlicensed suppliers to the FWA.
