二、Jessie Penny Factory Inspection Notice

Like many large foreign supermarkets, Jcpenny also has its own auditing department when evaluating factories. But even if Jcpenny's internal auditors come to inspect the factory, there are still many issues that the factory should pay attention to during the inspection.

When Jcpenny reviews wages, it will require the factory to provide records of wages paid in the past year, and of course, the corresponding attendance records also need to be provided with a one-year record. Jcpenny requires evaluators to randomly select one month each during the off-season and peak season of the factory as a key reference when checking salaries. Requirement for the number of employees to visit: When the number of employees in the factory is less than 100, the number of visitors is 25% of the number of employees, while when the number of employees is greater than 100, the number of employees to visit is no less than 25.

Jcpenny's tolerance for factory violations is similar to other brands. In the evaluation process of Jcpenny, the inspection and storage of products are also key points, and the factory should also pay corresponding attention to these aspects.
