This is an expression used to describe a transaction between persons in which each acts in their own self-interest. Arm's length employees are, generally, employees who are not related to you and who are not carrying on your business with you (for example, as your partners).

Explanation:
The concept of an arm's length transaction commonly comes into play in the real estate market. When determining the fair market value of a piece of property, the price for the property must be obtained through a potential buyer and seller operating through an arm's length transaction, otherwise, the agreed-upon price will likely differ from the actual fair market value of the property.

For example, if two strangers are involved in the sale and purchase of a house, it is likely that the final agreed-upon price will be close to market value (assuming that both parties have equal bargaining power and equal information about the situation). This is because the seller would want a price that is as high as possible and the buyer would want a price that is as low as possible.

This contrasts with a situation in which the two parties are not strangers. For example, it is unlikely that the same transaction involving a father and his son would yield the same result, because the father may choose to give his son a discount.

Based on the above, I think that the translation I am suggesting would be an acceptable one...although in specialsed translation one can never be 100% sure!
