Corporate Responsibility

Human Rights Policy

Motorola Solutions' human rights policy is based on our long-standing key beliefs of uncompromising integrity and constant respect for people, and is consistent with the core tenets of the International Labour Organization's fundamental conventions and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Anti-discrimination

We employ people on the basis of their ability to do the job, and we prohibit discrimination based on employees’ personal characteristics, conditions or beliefs.

Freely chosen employment

We do not use forced, prison or indentured labor, including debt bondage. We ensure that terms of employment are voluntary. If we recruit contract or migrant employees, we pay agency recruitment fees and ensure there are no unreasonable employment or relocation expenses. We do not require any employee to remain in employment for any period of time against his or her will, or engage in practices which restrict employees' ability to terminate employment. We do not require employees to lodge "deposits" or hand over government-issue identification, passports or work permits as a condition of employment, unless required by applicable law.

No child labor

Our hiring practices conform with the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions for minimum age and child labor. Employees under the age of 18 should not perform hazardous work and should be restricted from night work if it interferes with educational needs.

Fair working hours

We manage operations to ensure that overtime does not exceed levels that create inhumane working conditions. We do not require employees to work more than the maximum hours of daily labor set by local law. We do not require, on a regularly scheduled basis, work in excess of 60 hours per week or in excess of six consecutive days without a rest day.

Wages and benefits

Our employees are paid at least the minimum legal wage or, where no wage law exists, the local industry standard. In any event, we provide wages and benefits to our employees to at least meet basic needs. For each pay period, we provide employees with an understandable wage statement that includes sufficient information to verify accurate compensation for work performed. We do not make deductions from wages as a disciplinary measure.

Freedom of association and collective bargaining

We recognize the right of our employees to join associations of their own choosing or to refrain from joining, and the right to collective bargaining, unless otherwise prohibited by law. In all cases, we respect employees’ rights to open communication, direct engagement, and humane and equitable treatment.

Safe and healthy working conditions

We provide a safe and healthy work environment for employees. In cases where we provide housing or dining facilities, we operate and maintain them in a safe, sanitary and dignified manner.

No harsh or inhumane treatment

The safety and security of employees at our facilities are key priorities. We prohibit the physical abuse and harassment of employees, as well as the threat of either.
