Employment Practices -- Employers and agents may not use misleading or fraudulent practices during the recruitment of employees. As part of the hiring process, workers must be provided with a written employment agreement in their native language that contains a description of terms and conditions of employment and the hazardous nature of the work, prior to the worker departing from his or her country of origin. Any employer-provided housing must meet the host country housing and safety standards.
Employer must pay return transportation costs upon the end of employment for an employee who is not a national of the country in which the work is taking place and who was brought into that country for the purpose of working on a U.S. Government contract or subcontract, unless an employee who is legally permitted to remain in the country of employment chooses to do so; or an employee who is a victim of trafficking is seeking victim services or legal redress in the country of employment, or an employee is a witness in a trafficking-related enforcement action.
