Do you agree with this change? Strongly agree Partially agree Disagree Not relevant to me / I don’t know Please explain your rationale in case you partially agree or don’t agree Click here to enter text Changes on contracts for permanent workers: Change the requirement on written contracts for permanent workers (applicable only if the organization or members employ a significant number of workers) from Development Year 3 to Core Year 1. Change the requirement that requires that copies of contracts are given to permanent workers from Development Year 3 to Core Year 1. The requirement is applicable only if the organization or members employ a significant number of workers. Rationale: The ILO views formalization of work as an essential process for the promotion of decent work and reduction of risk of exploitative practices. A written contract ensures that workers are able to enjoy their rights and claim them if necessary. In most countries a formal contract is a prerequisite to access services to health and pension schemes. The change was also suggested by different stakeholders. These proposals are likely to be covered by the national legislation but they also ensure that workers are better protected and will have better access to social security. Implications: Organizations would need to ensure that permanent workers have contracts and a copy is provided to them. In cases where workers are not able to read or understand the contracts, the organizations would need to ensure that the workers understand what the contract entails.
