Working Hours Data Collection
The EICC Working Hours Work Group is collecting working hours data from EICC members. Members are encouraged to complete the Excel template here for all of their company locations in China. A member of the work group will follow up with a representative from each EICC member company to facilitate collection, provide specific guidance, and answer questions.
The data will be used to determine the level of information EICC members are able to provide, and to identify conformance trends relating to 60-hour limits and one rest day per week requirements in the EICC Code of Conduct. Though some members may not have systems in place to capture weekly working hours data, the work group is collecting weekly data to conform to the EICC Code requirements.
Completed templates should be sent to Brad Cameron at AMS. All data will be treated as confidential, and all company affiliations will be removed from the data before it is provided to the work group. Contact John Digenan for more information. |
Action Items:
- EICC companies must assign a company administrator for EICC-ON. Register your company administrator here. Administrators will be responsible for setting up their company users, deactivating users, adding subsidiaries, and SAQ submissions.
Available Training:
- Recordings of the trainings are available in SharePoint. The recordings and an FAQ document will be available soon in EICC-ON in the "Training" tab. An EICC-ON overview is already available in the training catolog.
