How the ETI Working Hours Base Code clause has changed

Female worker picking fresh produce, Tanzania

Revisions to the Base Code clause on working hours were released on 1 April 2014. Find out more about why and how ETI revised the wording. 

On our working hours guidance pages you will find the new wording itself, FAQs (including clarity on when to start implementing the revised wording), an e-learning tool, an interpretation note on what the revision means and a guidance document on what companies need to do in response to the revised wording.
