Focus on Worker Welfare and Safety
To ensure a safe and respectful working environment, it was directed that every factory must establish an Internal Committee to prevent sexual harassment at the workplace, with a woman designated as its chairperson. Complaint boxes will also be installed in factories to provide workers with an accessible platform to register grievances.
Officials further stressed that workers must be treated with dignity and respect at all times. Employers were instructed to ensure that all necessary facilities are provided within the workplace to maintain a healthy and productive environment.
In addition, it was mandated that wages must be paid in full to workers by the 10th of every month, and salary slips must be provided without exception. These measures aim to enhance transparency and build trust between workers and employers.
