- Living Wage: The level of pay a worker needs to cover the essentials for a decent standard of living. This includes adequate food, housing, healthcare, education, transport, and other basic needs for the worker and their family.
- Grievance Mechanisms: Structured channels that allow workers, communities, or other affected groups to raise concerns or complaints about actual or potential human rights or environmental harms linked to a company’s operations, supply chain, or business relationships.
- Recruitment Fees: Any charges paid by workers to secure a job. These can include fees for placement, training, documentation, transport, medical checks or recruitment services, whether paid directly or indirectly through deductions from wages.
- Cross-border Recruitment Agencies: Agencies that connect workers with employment opportunities in another country, particularly in migrant labour markets.
