Policy on Guaranteeing Equivalent Rights of Workers When Outsourcing Activities to Third Parties
The University of Laghouat is committed to upholding the highest standards of workers’ rights, including when outsourcing activities to third-party contractors or service providers. The university ensures that all outsourced workers are afforded equivalent rights to those enjoyed by direct employees of the university, in compliance with national labour laws and international labour standards.
The key elements of the university’s policy include:
- Equal Treatment: All outsourced workers must receive equivalent protections regarding wages, working conditions, health and safety, and other employment rights, as stipulated by national laws and university policies.
- Contractual Obligations: The university requires all third-party contractors to adhere to the same ethical and labour standards that apply to the university itself, including compliance with local and international labour laws.
- Fair Wages and Benefits: Third-party contractors must provide fair wages and benefits to their workers, ensuring that compensation is in line with legal requirements and comparable to university staff performing similar roles.
- Safe Working Conditions: The university mandates that all contractors maintain safe, healthy, and respectful working environments, following university standards on workplace safety and welfare.
- Monitoring and Auditing: Regular audits and monitoring are conducted to ensure that third-party contractors comply with these requirements. Non-compliance may result in penalties or the termination of contracts.
- Reporting Mechanism: The university provides a channel for outsourced workers to report any grievances or violations related to their rights, ensuring they have access to the same protections as university employees.
