WRAP Regulation Updates
|
updates to WRAP Policies. July 1st, 2008 Effective July 1, 2008 onwards, WRAP will be making the following updates to its policies: Effective July 1, 2008, WRAP has updated the regulations as follows: 1) Record review periods –Currently, for new facilities, we require a review of records going back only 45 days prior to the date of the audit. We are now increasing this period to 90 days. Records Review Period - Currently, for new facilities, we require a 45-day return visit for records review after the audit date. We are now increasing this time to 90 days. Note that the 45 day period with regards to time elapsed before a follow-up visit check on a corrective action will remain the same. Further, the 90 day requirement will relate only to the record review for facilities applying for their first WRAP certification. Re-cert applicants will be subject to the full prior year review, as before. Note that the corrective actions required to be reviewed during the follow-up visit before the 45-day period has passed remain the same. Additionally, the 90-day requirement only pertains to the records review of facilities that provided their first WRAP certification. Recertification applicants will be responsible for a full annual review, as before. Therefore, factories applying for their first WRAP certificated that are audited after July 1, 2008 will need to have 90 days worth of records reviewed. Therefore, factories applying for their first WRAP certification audited after July 1, 2008 will need 90 days of valid audit records. 2) Issuance of C level certificates – WRAP has a detailed policy already posted on our website click here and in the new handbook. We are enhancing that policy as follows: Any factory that, during any stage of the audit (initial, recert, follow-up), cannot fully demonstrate complete and accurate records for wages and work hours (including overtime), will automatically receive a C level cert. This means that any violations of Principles 5 & 6 where our monitors indicate issues with record keeping, or cannot verify them due to inconsistencies, will result in a C certificate at the time of certification (ie, either when the facility eventually passes the audit, or requests one under the current policy). Issuing Phase C Certificates - WRAP has detailed regulations published on our website and in the new manual. We have added the following policy: Any factory that cannot fully demonstrate complete and accurate wage and hour (including overtime) records at any audit stage (initial, recent, follow-up) will automatically receive a Phase C certificate. This means that our auditors will not be able to verify all violations of Principles 5 & 6 due to inconsistency, and will have a C certificate at the certification stage (i.e., either the factory was last audited, or in accordance with the requirements under the current policy) 3) Hours of Work –Starting with certificates issued for audits conducted after July 1, we will be listing on our certificates information about the average weekly hours and the maximum weekly hours worked for the sample covered during the period that was reviewed. Thus, the certificate will have a small box on it that says: Working hours - Starting with certificates issued after 7.1 audits, as a guide, we will list information on the certificate, with examples of average working hours per week and maximum working hours per week for the period covered. Therefore, the certificate will have a small framework stating: Period reviewed - [date] to [date] Average weekly hours worked - A hours Average weekly hours worked - A hours Maximum weekly hours worked - B hours (X instances in Y weeks) Maximum number of hours worked per week - B hours (X instances in Y weeks) |
