SA 8000 is an international certification standard that aims to ensure decent working conditions. The document analyzes its implementation in the pharmaceutical sector through a study of 15 companies and 70 employees. It finds that most employees have little knowledge of SA 8000 and many common issues exist like long working hours, delays in salary, inadequate pay, and discrimination. The study concludes that while SA 8000 aims to improve social accountability, its requirements are not fully implemented or enforced currently in the pharmaceutical industry. Stricter oversight is needed to protect employee rights and interests as required by the standard.

The Reserve Bank of India has proposed major reforms in banking sector with issue of guidelines for setting up “Small and Payment Banks” which will cater to marginalized sections of the Society, including migrant laborers, for collecting deposits and remitting funds.
These banks will provide a whole suite of basic banking products such as deposits and supply of credit, but in a limited area of operation. The payments banks will offer a limited range of products such as acceptance of demand deposits and remittances of funds. They will have a widespread network of access points particularly in remote areas, either through their own branch network or through Business Correspondents (BCs)/agents or through networks provided by others.
In the context of globalisation and international competition, many companies source labour-intensive goods from developing and newly industrialised countries. However, working conditions in these countries often do not comply with basic labour standards, such as those established by the International Labour Organization (ILO). To address this issue, many companies and associations have created individual codes of conduct and monitoring systems.
SA8000 and BSCI are some of the monitoring systems. The audit process helps to identify the better suppliers who can take on more business as non-conforming suppliers drop out of the supply chain.

• The company shall not engage in or support the use of
forced or compulsory labour.
• The company must provide a safe and healthy working
environment .
• The employees must be free to form Association & should
have right to have Collective Bargaining.
• There should not be any discrimination regarding age, sex,
caste, creed, color, national origin, religion, disability, union
membership, political affiliation, or age.

13. Finding and suggestion:
• After conducting the case study on SA 8000 standards in pharmaceutical
sector it can be said that everyone wants a better working standard but no
one knows about the global guidelines and parameter for such and their
employer also do not disclose anything about this. The company must
educate their employees about regarding this social accountability
standard.
• Moreover these companies need to take steps to implement SA8000
standard to improve the working life of its employees. The company may
get the benefit of SA 8000 in long run.
• SAI must take adequate steps to force these companies to implement
better compensation to workers so that they receive remuneration
sufficient to their survival.
• It is found that employees are forced to work more than eight hours even
few are influenced to work in holidays. This practice should be checked by
the concern company and employees must be awarded with fair justice.
14. Finding and Suggestion(Contd.)
• It is observed that few employees are not getting their salary in time. The
company must fix the time and deliver their salary in the fixed time.
• SAI must take adequate steps to force these companies to implement
better compensation to workers so that they receive remuneration
sufficient to their survival.
• It is found that transfer is an easy instrument in the hands of authority.
Transfer to distance places may force the concern employee to leave their
job. Verbal abuse and unethical influence is a matter of concern also.
These factors may negate the motive of these workers.
• This empirical study finds some female medicine representatives. 22%
respondents are discriminated by sex. Working in this field by female
employee is a challenging task indeed. In the male dominated society
female workers are discriminated to certain extent in this sector also. The
company and the authority must provide a healthy and safety
environment in which the female workers can work freely.
15. Conclusion:
No doubt SA 8000 increases the social commitments of the
companies. It will yield to company in long run. The
companies should think in win-win basis to implement the
social standard. It also enhances employee retention and
reduces employee turnover. But the above study reveals
certain serious facts which violate SA 8000 requirements.
The employees can’t do anything about it due to fear of
losing their job. The international organisations should
come forward to protect the interest of these internal
stakeholders. It can be noted that SA 8000 gives freedom to
join association or union. But this study shows that few
employees are denied to join the association. This violates
the basics of SA 8000 which should be restrained.
