Respect of Human Rights

RESPECTFUL WORKPLACE

Sunshine Care Limited expects all managers and other employees to treat each other with decency and respect. This includes ensuring that security and other procedures demonstrate respect for personal dignity and privacy. Sunshine Care forbids violence in the workplace and any verbal, emotional, psychological, sexual, physical, and any other form of harassment, abuse, intimidation, or bullying.

Anybody engaging in such behavior will be subject to discipline, including immediate termination.

NO FORCED LABOUR

Sunshine Care does not permit the use of indentured, slave, bonded or other forced involuntary labour.

NO CHILD LABOUR

No person under the age of 15, or the legal age of employment in any country or local jurisdiction, whichever is higher, may be permitted to work for Sunshine Care. No minor may be employed to perform hazardous work, and any employment of minors is subject to any legal limitations regarding hours of work, wages, working conditions, and minimum education.

FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

We respect the rights of our employees to decide whether or not to be represented by a trade union and to bargain collectively. We will not discriminate or retaliate against any employee or employee representative because of affiliation with, support for, or opposition to any union. We will bargain in good faith with lawful employee representatives. We will abide by the laws of the countries in which we do business and work within the legal framework of each country to ensure respect for freedom of association and collective bargaining.

LAWFUL WAGES, BENEFITS, AND WORK-TIME

Sunshine Care expects that all employees will be paid lawful wages and benefits on a timely scheduled basis for all time that they have worked. Our teams will observe all applicable laws and regulations for working hours for employees, including maximum hour limitations and requirements for break times. Overtime may be required only as permitted by law based upon the nature of the work.

OUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS

Sunshine Care will communicate this policy to our clients and suppliers. We expect our business partners to support this policy and its underlying principles. We may engage with our business partners as appropriate to address actual and potential adverse human rights impacts.

REPORTING CONCERNS

We welcome our stakeholders raising concerns about our business practices and their impact on human rights. Meaningful pathways fore reporting concerns free from the threat of any retaliation are especially important for our employees. Likewise, our clients and suppliers and their employees, members of the communities where we operate, and other stakeholders that may be affected by our business must also have means of calling adverse impacts to our attention.

Sunshine Care will provide effective mechanisms wherever we do business for employees and other stakeholders to raise concerns about infringement of their human rights or other adverse human rights impacts relating to Sunshine Care's business.

Employees may also raise such concerns through lawful collective representatives. All reports should be made in good faith. Any report of suspected human rights infringements or adverse human rights impacts will be addressed promptly and appropriately. Persons making such reports in good faith will not be subject to retaliation, threats, or harassment, and their identity will be held in confidence to the extent possible and as permitted by law.

DUE DILIGENCE AND TRANSPARENCY

In addition to addressing concerns raised through individual and collective grievance mechanisms, Sunshine Care will work proactively to assess actual and potential human rights impacts related to its business and to take appropriate measures to address the risks and impacts that we identify. This process of risk assessment, mitigation, and remediation (including our responses to reported grievances) shall be subject to regular review in order to improve the effectiveness and ensure currency. We will report at least annually on our progress.
