Chapter V Paragraph 4B

When multinational enterprises operate in other countries, wages, benefits and conditions of work offered across their operations should not be less favourable to the workers than those offered by comparable employers in the host country. Where comparable employers may not exist, enterprises should provide the best possible wages, benefits and conditions of work, within the framework of government policies and applicable international standards. These should be related to the economic position of the enterprise, but should be at least adequate to satisfy the basic needs of the workers and their families.
