Vision
Labor contracts signed by international migrant workers can change from origin to destination due to unethical behavior from recruitment agencies or overseas employers. Workers often end up working in poor conditions for unfair wages. We propose the digitization and storage of “Universal Migrant Worker Contracts” on the blockchain, increasing transparency and security throughout the entire recruitment process.
Standardizes complicated contracts
Handshake guarantees contracts are legal and ethical, and ensures that the contract signed hasn't changed when migrant workers arrive in a new country.
Ensures contracts are upheld
Handshake tracks working conditions and allows employers to be held accountable. It also manages and tracks payments and remittence.
Transparency = Safety
Governments and ethical agencies have transparency into agency and job identities and working conditions, and know when to intercede.
Why Blockchain?
Handshake is built on decentralised services such as IPFS and the Ethereum blockchain, to ensure that labor contracts are legal and verified, and remain untampered. Every party has access to and signs the same contract. We can dictate that contracts follow legal and ethical guidelines before they're ever created.
Blockchain also gives us a system to rigorously verify the ethical nature and legitimacy of both agencies and job sites, each of which create their own uPort identity.
Long term, the blockchain allows us to enforce contracts in migrant workers' places of work, to make sure they're getting paid and able to send money back to their family.
