I) Appointment Letter for Implementation of Force Labor Policy

Omega Power Minds Pvt.Ltd. totally is against forced labor conducted in any way possible. Therefore, we have adopted many policies to prevent them. However if such kind of activities do take place by any chance, we tend to take responsibility.

Here are certain procedures mentioned to deal with forced labor policy:

*Speak with workers individually, and keep in mind the sensitive nature of the issue.

*Take particular care to ensure the confidentiality of these conversations to protect the worker from any possible reprisals.

* If possible, meet workers off-site if the representative of Omega is in the respective country.

* Discuss with employers the company policy on violence, harassment and intimidation in the workplace, and examine copies of such policy.

*Examine legal records for any evidence of outstanding complaints or actions taken against the company, for example in a labor tribunal, to determine whether there have been past allegations of the use or threat of physical or sexual violence, harassment or intimidation against workers and their families.

Representative Responsibilities:

Omega Power Minds Pvt.Ltd. has hired and appointed a different entity to handle such kind of issues more distinctly. We have appointed Ms. Nikki Karki to handle and deal with such kind of problems if it takes place. Here are some of the responsibilities she is to carry out if such kind of issue is created:

* After getting the information or complaint she is to thoroughly go through the complaint and claim made to understand the situation and vulnerability of the incident.

* After that she needs to do the detail contact with the worker making the claim and verify his/her final statement. If possible collect the proof or evidence of the misconduct.

* It is very important to finally do a detail conversation with the party involved in the misconduct and provide them with the detail information of the claim made by the worker.

* She will then hear from both the parties through transparent communication and whoever is found guilty is taken action as per the law, rules and regulations of the ILO (International Labor Organization)
