Walk Free+MSA Forced overtime+methodology

history edit build

To meet this metric, companies must state that they have identified excessive overtime as a risk or indicator of forced labour in their supply chain. They do not need to explain how they address the issue, but if they do, please include the relevant paragraphs in your comment.

If the company explicitely identifies (excessive) overtime as a risk, select "Yes". 

If it does not explicitely identify (excessive) overtime as a risk, select "No".

If the company reports incidents associated with forced overtime, but does not state that forced overtime is a risk in their supply chain, please select "No". There is a metric that captures reports of incidents, where you can add information about incidents and violations.
