- A company gets added to the list If a labour inspector fines someone for employing slave labour,it starts an internal government procedure where the employer can defend himself.
- After all possibility of appeal is exhausted,if the employer is found guilty, his name or the name of his firm is added to the list.
- It will stay on the list for two years.During that time,labour inspectors will monitor the employer to see if labour conditions have improved.
