Ep. 29: Piece-Rate Payment Systems in the Garment and Agricultural Sectors

In this new podcast episode, we discuss a key area of concern for international companies operating in the garment and agricultural sectors which is the prevalent use of piece rate payment systems. This episode counts with the participation of Grace Camara and Pallavi Sharma, senior legal advisors at Beyond Human Rights Compliance, which is an international legal consultancy specialised in the implementation of human rights due diligence and responsible business conduct. As piece rate payment systems have been strongly linked to labour violations, our speakers, Grace and Pallavi, provide some practical steps that international companies can take to protect workers from these types of wage violations. This episode was conducted by our Research Assistant and undergraduate student at NOVA School of Law, Matilde Carreira.
