Read our Employment Practice Equivalent Rights Outsourcing Policy

The "Employment Practice Equivalent Rights Outsourcing Policy" at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8) by emphasizing equitable treatment of outsourced employees and promoting fair employment practices. This policy ensures that when outsourcing services are necessary, the university exercises due diligence to uphold the rights and well-being of outsourced workers. It establishes a framework for managing agreements with agencies to guarantee that these employees receive the same employment entitlements and facilities as those directly employed by the university. Furthermore, the policy encourages the selection of contractors based on ethical principles, including fair compensation, labor rights protection, and adherence to environmental and social responsibility standards. By prioritizing fair treatment and responsible outsourcing practices, the university contributes to the broader global goal of promoting decent work and sustainable economic growth, as outlined in SDG 8.
