Company Policy of DS Crewing Services GmbH (“DSCS”)
Preamble
The WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personal is fundamental for the company’s practises in recruiting of international health personal.
Fair and ethical recruitment is the company’s fundamental interest. In order to fulfil this interest it cares about transparency, fairness and promotion of sustainability not only for health systems of other states but for potentially migrating health personal. Therefore, the company does not differentiate between temporarily or permanently employed personal.
DS Crewing Services GmbH commits to the „Employer pays“-Principle. In consequence, the company does not recruit any labour that made a payment to be employed. Payments in such means to the company, the employer or any third party will not be tolerated. Anyhow, the company does not instigate anyone to make such payments.
It is also prohibited to enter into agreements that, upon termination of the contract, result in a disproportionate burden on the employee or place the employee in a situation that restricts their freedom of movement. Under no circumstances may the contractual relationship contain binding and repayment obligations that are contrary to the current state of the law and/or jurisdiction or the requirements and principles of the "Fair Recruitment Care Germany" quality seal. This applies not only to employment contracts but also to any possible side agreements and/or arrangements included in the mediated employment contracts, regulations on employment relationships, language acquisition, recognition procedures, and relocation processes, as well as to other special cases, such as the termination of the recruitment process, which are regulated and documented in writing.
The DS Crewing Services GmbH and their cooperation as well as business partners do not require any advance payments such as deposits or security payments, nor do they require any subsequent payments such as penalties from the healthcare professionals.
This payment prohibition is passed on throughout the entire service chain.
Further, DS Crewing Services GmbH acts based on
- The International Human Rights Convention
- The ILO Core Labour Standards
- United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
- international UN human rights treaties
