Modern Slavery Statement
An overview of our modern slavery policy and what it means for you.
Introduction
Modern slavery—including slavery, servitude, forced labor, and human trafficking—is a critical global issue that governments and law enforcement agencies worldwide are actively working to address. In the United Kingdom, the Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires businesses to take proactive measures to eliminate modern slavery from their operations and supply chains.
USTech Solutions fully supports the Modern Slavery Act and is committed to fostering a work environment that upholds human rights, freedom, and ethical labor practices.

Our Supply Chains
Due to our service-based business model, USTech Solutions has a limited supply chain. We lease office spaces in commercial buildings where landlords manage property services such as energy supply, maintenance, cleaning, and security.
We procure office supplies and IT equipment from reputable retailers. Unlike manufacturing businesses, we do not have material suppliers, and most of the workers we place are direct employees rather than subcontracted workers.
Due Diligence
All subcontractors must sign a contract that includes strict compliance requirements, such as:
- Adherence to human rights laws.
- Ensuring workers have proper identification and legal work authorization.
- Guaranteeing fair wages and reasonable working hours.
- Prohibiting forced labor and allowing workers the freedom to resign.
- Banning sub-subcontracting (additional subcontracting layers).
Subcontractor Compliance Checks
Before engaging a subcontractor, we conduct thorough due diligence, including:
✔ Verifying business registration, licenses, and insurance.
✔ Screening the subcontractor’s business and owner(s) against global sanctions databases.
✔ Conducting identity verification, criminal background checks, and employment/education history verification for workers.
Monitoring & Audits
- Annual audits ensure continued compliance.
- Surprise audits may be conducted at any time.
- Our employees are trained to identify red flags, including:
- Refusal to participate in video interviews.
- Shared contact details (phone/email) among multiple candidates.
- Unusual similarities in resumes.
Workers placed via subcontractors have a direct line of communication with USTech Solutions and are encouraged to report concerns confidentially, without fear of retaliation.
If a subcontractor is found engaging in modern slavery, USTech Solutions will:
- Act swiftly to protect affected workers.
- Notify the proper authorities.
- Terminate our business relationship with the subcontractor.
Policies
Our Modern Slavery Policy aligns with several internal policies designed to maintain an ethical, legally compliant workplace, including:
- Code of Conduct
- Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy
- Payroll & Compensation Policy
- Human Rights Policy
- Workplace Violence Policy
- Privacy Policy
- Anti-Harassment Policy

Training
USTech Solutions provides mandatory training to all employees upon hiring, with refresher training as needed. Employees learn how to:
- Identify suspicious activity that may indicate modern slavery.
- Report concerns confidentially.
- Escalate cases for further investigation.
Risk Assessment
We recognize that risk assessment is an ongoing process and is embedded in our daily operations.
Due to our rigorous procedures, USTech Solutions has found zero evidence of modern slavery in our supply chain.
