Labor Policy
The Monsoon Company Labor Policy Statement outlines standards to ensure that all employees and contractors are treated with respect and dignity, are working under their own free will, and are being properly compensated for their effort.
Non-Discrimination & Equal Opportunity.

Minimum Wage, Hours and Benefits.
Compensation paid to workers shall comply with all applicable wage laws, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime hours and legally mandated benefits. Working hours shall be limited to what is acceptable by local laws.
Humane Treatment.
There is to be no harsh or inhumane treatment, including any sexual harassment, sexual abuse, corporal punishment, slavery, mental or physical coercion or verbal abuse of workers: nor is there to be the threat of any such treatment.
Worker’s Rights.
We believe that workers' rights are best protected by allowing each worker to deal directly with management on issues of importance to that worker. We also respect the rights of workers to associate or not associate with third-party organizations, join or not join labor unions, seek representation, bargain or not bargain collectively in accordance with local laws.
Workplace Health and Safety.
Workers are to be in a safe environment, protected from hazards of the job. Where necessary, workers will be provided safety equipment as appropriate to the work being performed. Workers are to be provided with ready access to clean toilet facilities, potable water and sanitary food preparation, storage, and eating facilities. Where worker dormitories are provided, they are to be maintained clean and safe, adequate heat and ventilation along with reasonable entry and exit privileges. Procedures and systems are to be in place to manage, track and report occupational injury and illness. Emergency response procedures will be in place.
