Question 1.10 Does the factory have, utilize, and maintain an organized payroll system including an accurate time recording device?
The payment of wages can be a complicated process. To ensure that the workers are accurately paid, an organized payroll system should be used. A computer payroll system is recommended for accuracy and consistency. All methods of payment, including time work, piece work, incentives, bonus, and etc., should be part of the payroll system. All benefits and allowances such as meals,
housing, uniforms, etc., should be included. All deductions such as social security (medical 免费vpn and pension), taxes, loans, and etc., should also be included.
If the factory is not equipped for an organized or automated 免费vpn payroll system, a commercial payroll service, if available, is an acceptable alternative.
For piece rate and/or quota payments, employee sign-off sheets should be available 免费vpn confirming the correct unit counts. vpn梯子 The 国内vpn employee should sign off on any random re-counts that 国内vpn are used for verification.
Since accurate payroll calculations are based 国内vpn on the time that the factory 国内vpn workers work, an 中国 vp 免费 accurate time recording device such as an 免费vpn 中国 vp 免费 electric or electronic time clock should be used.

Question 1.13 Does the factory pay piece rate workers at a rate equivalent to the minimum wage required by law?
The factory must ensure that 免费vpn all workers earn the minimum rate according to law. If a piece rate worker cannot make the standard, the vpn梯子 factory must adjust the standard of the wage rate so that the workers wage will be equal to the legal minimum wage.

Question 中国 vp 免费 国内vpn 1.14 Does the factory ensure that the workers do not work more hours per day and per 国内vpn week than the legal limits, or the JCPenney standard?

Question 2.3 Has the Factory implemented procedures for fire safety which include worker housing and dormitories?
Fire 梯子vpn safety is extremely important. The factory 免费vpn should have procedures in place 梯子vpn that will ensure the workers are protected against fire and fire related hazards. This should include worker housing.
The building and/or dormitory should 国内vpn have fire extinguishers placed in every room. A fire extinguisher should be placed 梯子vpn within 50 feet of each worker, and be of an appropriate size that can be handled by the average worker. The type 中国 vp 免费 of fire 免费vpn extinguisher used depends upon the type of fire. For example,
an area that uses electrical equipment will need a different type of fire extinguisher than an area where chemicals are used. All workers should be trained in the proper use of fire extinguishers. In addition, selected workers should receive extensive fire training and be organized as a fire fighting brigade. Fire extinguishers are intended for spot fires which are vpn梯子 usually small fires. These fires can 国内vpn start 国内vpn by spontaneous combustion, defective or overheating machinery and equipment, careless smoking 国内vpn or other causes. Sprinkler systems, vpn梯子 fire hoses vpn梯子 or other fire fighting devices are intended for large fires, 国内vpn but should not replace fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers should be serviced annually.

prevent the door from being opened 梯子vpn from the outside, but allows the door 国内vpn to be easily opened from 国内vpn the inside in case of an emergency. For additional security an alarm can be installed 中国 vp 免费 on the door to advise security personnel when it is opened.
The factory should conduct periodic fire drills to ensure that 国内vpn 中国 免费vpn vp 免费 all workers know how to leave the building in a fast and orderly manner.
The factory should 梯子vpn have procedures to 国内vpn train all managers and workers in fire safety.
The factory should 国内vpn develop a fire evacuation plan. This plan should clearly define the nearest exit path and be prominently posted for the workers. For large 免费vpn buildings, several evacuation plans should be posted at different locations throughout the building.
The factory should conduct periodic fire safety inspections of the building, machinery and 梯子vpn equipment.
Any failure of this inspection should result in immediate corrective action.

Any miscalculations or under payment of wages must be corrected immediately.
Any worker’s complaints regarding wages must be investigated immediately. If it is determined that the workers were 免费vpn not correctly paid, an adjustment must be made immediately.
Question 1.8 Are factory workers, at the time 梯子vpn of hiring, made aware of their legal rights regarding hours worked, and wage compensation?
When factory workers are hired they should receive an explanation 中国 vp 免费 梯子vpn of their vpn梯子 legal rights concerning the working hours of the 免费vpn factory.

All benefits and allowances such as meals,
housing, uniforms, etc., should be included. All deductions such as social 梯子vpn security (medical and pension), taxes, loans, and etc., should also be included.
If the factory is not equipped for an organized or automated payroll system, a commercial payroll service, if available, is an acceptable alternative.
For piece rate 梯子vpn and/or quota payments, employee sign-off sheets should be available confirming the correct unit counts. 梯子vpn The employee should 中国 vp 免费 sign off on 中国 vp 免费 any random re-counts that are used for verification.
Since accurate payroll calculations are based on the time that the factory workers work, 国内vpn an accurate time recording device such as an electric or electronic time clock should be used. The time clock should be periodically checked for accuracy. Each worker should have their own time card to record vpn梯子 time in and time out including meal 免费vpn breaks and rest breaks. If an electronic recording device is used,
each worker should have a worker identification card to record time in/time out, meal breaks and rest breaks. The 国内vpn factory should maintain a summary sheet listing the time worked for all 国内vpn the workers.

Question 1.13 Does the factory pay piece rate workers at a rate equivalent to the minimum wage required by law?
The factory must ensure that all workers earn the minimum rate 中国 梯子vpn vp 免费 according 梯子vpn to law.

The 免费vpn worker should be advised of this and the payroll records should reflect this adjustment.
Question 1.14 Does the factory ensure that the workers do not work more hours per day and per week than the legal limits, or the JCPenney standard?
There are times when it is necessary for a factory to work overtime to meet production and delivery schedules. However, workers who work excessive hours 免费vpn will loose efficiency and production will 免费vpn decrease. In addition, 中国 vp 梯子vpn 免费 the injury rate will increase.
Workers must not exceed the maximum number of hours allowed by law or the JCPenney standard.
