Study Notes

Labor and Working Conditions

Introduction: Employment creation & income generation are crucial for poverty reduction and inclusive economic growth. Borrowers should foster positive worker-management relations, providing safe and healthy working conditions.

Objectives

Promote safety & health: Safeguarding workers' well-being is paramount.
Fair treatment & equal opportunity: Non-discrimination and equal opportunity for all workers, including vulnerable groups (women, disabled, children, migrants), are essential.
Prevent forced labor & child labor: Absolutely prohibited in project activities.
Support freedom of association: Workers' rights to organize and bargain collectively are protected.
Accessible communication channels: Workers can easily report concerns concerning their workplace.
Fair and nondiscriminatory treatment: Treatment of workers is fair, non-discriminatory, and promotes equal opportunities for all.
Clear & understandable employment terms: Written information explaining workers' rights & conditions (such as hours, wages, overtime, compensation, benefits). This should be provided at the beginning of employment and whenever there are any significant changes.
Payment on a regular basis: Workers receive payment according to national law and established procedures. Deductions are allowed only under applicable laws.
Rest periods, holidays, and leave: Workers are provided with rest periods, paid holidays, and sick/maternity/family leave as per national law and procedures.
Grievance mechanisms: Workers have access to a grievance mechanism proportionate to project scale and potential risks.
Workplace accommodations/facilities: Appropriate facilities (e.g., canteens, sanitation facilities, rest areas). Policies will be in place to protect and promote the health, safety, and well-being of those accommodated/ housed.
Protection of workers' rights and avoiding retaliation: Workers who report unsafe conditions aren't punished and can refuse to work in conditions that pose an imminent threat to their safety or health. Worker's rights to form/ join organizations are upheld and the employer won't influence or control alternative mechanisms workers use to express grievances or protect workers' rights.
Worker's organizations: Worker's rights exist in countries where national law recognizes these rights and worker's organizations can be part of the collective bargaining process in accordance with national law.
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS): OHS measures will address potential hazards/risks, implementing protective measures, worker training, and records of accidents/incidents. Procedures for reporting, investigating or responding to emergency situations will be in place and documented. All parties who employ or engage project workers will establish and maintain a safe work environment including ensuring machinery/equipment/processes are safe and not harmful to health. Specific guidance from both general and industry-specific environmental, health and safety guidelines will be followed. These standards will be included in legal agreements and ESS documents.

Scope of Application

Determined in ESS1: The applicability of ESS2 will be outlined during the environmental and social assessment in ESS1.
Type of employment relationship: ESS2's scope is contingent on the relationship type between the borrower and the project workers.
Categorizing project workers:
Direct workers: Employed directly by the borrower (including the project proponent and implementing agencies) to work directly on the project.
Contracted workers: Employed through third parties (including contractors, subcontractors, brokers, agents or intermediaries) to perform core project functions. Written labor management procedures for contracted workers, as specified in Section E, are required. Specific contracts should include ESS2 requirements and non-compliance remedies. Third-party workers need a grievance mechanism; if one isn't provided by the third party the borrower should ensure that one is provided.
Primary supply workers: Employed by the borrower's primary suppliers (suppliers providing essential goods or materials) to support direct project activities. Written labor management procedures for primary supply workers, as specified in Section G, are required. If significant risk for child labor or forced labor, the primary supplier must be monitored and appropriate protocols followed. Suppliers who cannot demonstrate that they are meeting relevant ESS requirements may need to be shifted.
Community workers: Engaged in community labor (e.g., food-for-work programs, public works), for community-development, social safety nets, or support in fragile situations. Written labor management procedures for community workers, as specified in Section F, are required. Labor is ideally voluntary but must be confirmed. Workers should be afforded fair treatment and be compliant with relevant parts of ESS2. Assessments are needed to understand their working conditions, risks and appropriate conditions.
Various employment types included: Full-time, part-time, temporary, seasonal, migrant workers.
Government civil servants: ESS2 generally does not apply, except for protections relating to the work force and work safety if there is a legal transfer of employment from their existing public entity. Workers' rights and employment terms should be acknowledged and maintained in the new job arrangement.
Trafficking in persons prohibited.
Protecting workers: Ensuring protections for the worker, including in cases of legal changes to employment arrangements or transfer between existing employers.
Accommodation Policies: Policies and procedures will be in place for worker accommodation and will protect the health and safety of workers, while addressing their needs for physical, social and cultural needs.
Forced labor is prohibited.
Child labor is prohibited, with a minimum age set. Children may be employed under some circumstances if work is not hazardous and does not interfere with education.
