It is concerned with screening every applicant by same criteria

When the principle of hiring is not followed a wrong candidate may be hired

6. Principles of Ethical Remuneration
Remuneration is not driven by employee’s need
Depends solely on results
Employees who work hard to perform a task need not be rewarded more than those who do it effortlessly
Seniority and loyalty should be rewarded only when they result in contributions to long term owner value

7. Ethics in Retrenchment
Firing: Employers at time include an “at-will” clause in employment contract that enable them to fire their employees at will
It is ethical when it is related to a worker’s poor performance , acts of sabotage, dishonesty or misuse of authority
Lay offs: discharge of unneeded workers

8. Health and safety
To ensure worker is not being unfairly manipulated into accepting a risk unknowingly
Due compensation should be given
Ensured against unknown hazards
