Across our facility, over 2,000 permanent employees are directly and voluntarily hired by PNJ. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for forced, bonded, or prison labor.
Our strict onboarding procedures ensure that personal identity documents are processed strictly as copies for age verification (ensuring a 0% underage labor rate), with originals returned immediately to the worker. No recruitment fees, costs, or financial deposits are ever required from or paid by our staff.
