Can I adopt the Tripartite Standard on Advancing Well-Being of Lower-Wage Workers (TS-LWW) if I do not hire any lower-wage workers?

Q: Can I adopt the Tripartite Standard on Advancing Well-Being of Lower-Wage Workers (TS-LWW) if I do not hire any lower-wage workers?

Yes, you are encouraged to adopt the TS-LWW . Although it focuses on lower-wage workers’ needs, the practices (e.g. to provide rest areas for workers) are also applicable to other groups of workers, including outsourced lower-wage workers. Adopting the TS-LWW will reflect your commitment to adhere to these practices if you hire lower-wage workers in the future. Firms applying only to adopt the TS-LWW, and not the PW Mark Plus, may do so directly on Tripartite Alliance for Fair & Progressive Employment Practices’ (TAFEP) website .
