Underlying Better Work’s Compliance Assessment Tool

The Better Work Compliance Assessment Tool (CAT) is used by Enterprise Advisors in all Better Work country programmes to assess enterprise compliance with international core labour standards, as well as national labour law. This brief provides an explanation of the legal standards underlying the questions in the Better Work CAT on Forced Labour. It is intended to serve as an annotation to the Better Work CAT, and is organized according to the structure of that document (by compliance point and question). As issues arise in applying the CAT, additional clarification of the standards will be incorporated.
