** Embargoed Countries

Employment categories may include: regular workers, contingent workers, temporary workers, contractors, vendors, interns, externs (unpaid interns who earn credits) and visiting professors. Export licenses are free of charge but can take 3 or more months to obtain. Failure to contact International Trade Services in a timely manner for an export license application may result in a delayed start date. Due to timing of licensing, and the fact that internships and externships are for a limited time period, Sun may not be able to obtain licenses in time for the individual to participate in the internship program.

Sun generally does not engage contingent workers (e.g. Temps and contractors) in positions that would require Sun to obtain a license. Sun will work with the vendors who supply workers in those positions, to ensure that the appropriate licenses are obtained. Labor Suppliers are contractually obligated to bring the need for licensing to Sun's attention.

If an export licence is required or if you need additional information, please send an e-mail to contact us as soon as possible.
