Deuteronomy 24:14-15
“You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers, or one of your foreigners who are in your land within your gates. You shall give him his wages in his day, neither shall the sun go down on it, for he is poor, and sets his heart on it; lest he cry against you to Yahweh, and it be sin to you.”
This passage is part of the Law given to ancient Israel through Moses, outlining various regulations for a just society. It addresses the treatment of vulnerable individuals, including hired laborers, emphasizing fair and timely payment.
What responsibility does a company have for ensuring fair and prompt payment practices throughout its entire supply chain, even when it's not directly employing the workers?
