What is the difference between 'recruitment fees paid by workers' vs 'recruitment fees paid by employers' under CTIP?

• A. CTIP prohibits workers paying recruitment fees; fees paid by employers or recruiters must be fully covered and not charged to workers.
• B. CTIP allows workers to pay all recruitment fees.
• C. CTIP requires workers to pay some fees; employers pay the rest.
• D. CTIP requires fees to be split evenly.

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is who bears the recruitment costs. CTIP requires that workers not be charged recruitment fees at all. The employer or the recruiting entity must cover the full cost of recruitment, so workers aren’t pushed into debt or coercive arrangements for obtaining work. This protects workers from debt bondage and exploitation tied to recruitment. So the best understanding is that recruitment fees should be paid by employers or recruiters, not by workers. Options that allow or split the fees with workers would create vulnerability and are not in line with CTIP protection standards.
