EMPLOYMENT

E.A. Dion, Inc. is a success because its employees are considered critical to our success and a strong level of teamwork has developed within the company. E.A. Dion, Inc. expects the spirit of its commitment to be reflected by its Vendor Partners with respect to their employees. At a minimum, E.A. Dion Inc. expects its Vendor Partners to meet the following terms and conditions of employment:

Compensation

Vendor Partners shall fairly compensate their employees by providing wages and benefits which are in compliance with the national laws of the countries in which the Vendor Partners are doing business and which are consistent with the prevailing local standards in the countries in which the Vendor Partners are doing business, if the prevailing local standards are higher. 

Hours of Labor

Vendor Partners shall maintain reasonable employee work hours in compliance with local standards and applicable national laws of the countries in which the Vendor Partners are doing business. Employees shall not work more hours in one week than allowable under applicable law, and shall be compensated as appropriate for overtime work. We favor Vendor Partners who utilize less than sixty-hour work weeks, and we will not use suppliers who, on a regularly scheduled basis, require employees to work in excess of a sixty-hour week. Employees should be permitted reasonable days off (which we define as meaning at least one day off for every seven-day period - in other words, the employee would work six days and have at least one day off during a seven day period) and leave privileges.
