Social Compliance Audit
The key procedures included in our social compliance audit are as follows
Opening Meeting
During this meeting, auditors explain the purpose of the visit to the facility's managers and specify the time for the audit to begin. The factory manager and human resource personnel should be present, and auditors ensure that the audit is conducted within the specified timeframe.
Health & Safety Tour
Our auditors conduct a thorough walkthrough of the facility to assess physical working conditions and identify any health and safety issues. They inspect the production area, warehouse, canteen, and dormitories if applicable.
Employee Documentation Review
We meticulously go through employment records and related documents to verify compliance with labor regulations. This includes reviewing employee attendance records, payroll records, employment contracts, social insurance payments, and more.
Employee Interviews
Our auditors conduct voluntary and private interviews with employees selected at random to gain insights into their working and living conditions. This gives employees the opportunity to voice any grievances or concerns.
Closing Meeting
At the end of the audit, auditors meet with facility management to discuss any non-compliance issues and suggest corrective actions. A Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is then signed by the facility's manager.
