Non-3M Workforce Working in U.S.

If you are assigning a non-3M worker or are an independent worker, in the U.S., the following requirements apply.

Non-3M workers must meet various requirements to be eligible for assignment at 3M. Suppliers of non-3M workers will assign to 3M only those non-3M workers who have met the assignment eligibility requirements. Independent workers must also meet 3M's assignment eligibility requirements. All requirements must be complete prior to the first day of assignment.

Non-3M workers must meet various requirements to continue assignment at 3M.

Non-3M workers are required to protect 3M's confidential and proprietary information and must be subject to an agreement containing confidentiality provisions. The Seller Personnel Agreement is preferred for most non-3M workers who are assigned through a supplier. Given the diversity of agreements that already exist between suppliers, non-3M workers, and 3M, it may be possible that the worker's confidentiality agreement obligation is addressed through another agreement already in place with 3M that includes confidentiality obligations. These agreements may include: a supplier agreement, a confidential disclosure agreement, or equivalent. Suppliers assigning non-3M workers, and independent workers, are responsible to ensure that an appropriate agreement is in place. Contact 3M Sourcing Operations for more information.

Suppliers are responsible to review the following Non-3M Workforce policies with the non-3M worker:

• Non-3M Workforce Policies including:

  • Non-3M Workforce Ethical Business Conduct Policy
  • Non-3M Workforce Harassment Policy
  • Non-3M Workforce Violence Prevention Policy
  • Non-3M Workforce Electronic Resources Policy
  • Non-3M Workforce Drug and Alcohol Policy
• Non-3M Workforce Anti-bribery Policy 

Non-3M workers must review and sign prior to the start of an assignment at 3M.

Non-3M workers must review and sign prior to the start of an assignment at 3M.

A non-3M worker must complete this questionnaire if they are a former or current government employee (including military duty). Completed questionnaires may be emailed to the Conflict of Interest Administrator or sent via fax to 651-732-8154.

These guidelines indicate supplier expenses that will and will not be reimbursed by 3M. Refer to your 3M agreement to ensure you have prior written 3M approval to receive reimbursement.
