A:  No, any factory actively producing Sears Holdings Corporation merchandise in China may participate in the program so long as they agree to the five requirements discussed above.

問：如果我的工廠與Sears Holdings Corporation公司在中國有業(yè)務(wù)協(xié)作，都必須參與WRIP改善計(jì)劃嗎？

答：不。只要理解并同意上面的五點(diǎn)要求，任何在中國生產(chǎn)Sears Holding Corporation公司產(chǎn)品的工廠，就可以考慮參與WRIP改善計(jì)劃。當(dāng)工廠支付工人工資低于法定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，或超時(shí)工作，或制作虛假工時(shí)工資記錄， Sears Holdings Corporation公司都鼓勵(lì)其參與WRIP改善計(jì)劃，以降低被Sears Holdings Corporation公司終止合作的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

Q:  Can my factory in India participate in this program?

A:  No, this program is for factories in China only. Factories in other countries should work hard to ensure ongoing compliance with local law and the Sears Holdings Corporation Code of Vendor Conduct. If there are challenges to comply, Sears Holdings Corporation encourages the factory to discuss these issues with years Holdings Corporation so that we can work together on developing a corrective action plan.

問：我在印度的工廠可以參與WRIP改善計(jì)劃嗎？

答：不可以。WRIP改善計(jì)劃僅適用于中國范圍內(nèi)的Sears Holdings Corporation公司協(xié)作工廠。其他國家的協(xié)作工廠應(yīng)努力確保符合所在國（地區(qū)）的法律和SEARS公司采購準(zhǔn)則。如果在遵守法規(guī)和準(zhǔn)則有難度時(shí)，Sears Holdings Corporation公司鼓勵(lì)協(xié)作工廠與Sears Holdings Corporation，以便采取更有效的整改措施。

Q: What are the benefits of participation in the WRIP program?

A: The benefit includes less frequent audits and the ability to continually produce Sears Holdings Corporation orders so long as the factory adheres to the WRIP requirements. Another key benefit is that factories will develop their own Improvement Plan based on their own business needs. While Sears Holdings Corporation will review the plan, it will likely be accepted so long as it is accurate anti complete, within the standards or other factories in the same area/business, and the factory is willing to make gradual progress to correct noted deficiencies according to the Improvement Plan. This is a key benefit because it allows a factory to determine the timeframe it can make the necessary changes to make sustainable progress towards compliance.

問：參與WRIP計(jì)劃的益處何在？

答：益處包括減少經(jīng)常性的評(píng)估，只要工廠遵循WRIP改善計(jì)劃就可以繼續(xù)與Sears Holdings Corporation公司合作“更重要的一點(diǎn)，工廠可以基于自己的商業(yè)需要提出可行的WRIP改善計(jì)劃。當(dāng)然Sears Holding Corporation公司會(huì)參照同區(qū)域的業(yè)界標(biāo)準(zhǔn)評(píng)審這個(gè)計(jì)劃。只要該計(jì)劃準(zhǔn)確完善，且工廠愿意依據(jù)改善計(jì)劃逐步整改，Sears Holdings Corporation公司一般會(huì)接受，這是最大的益處。Sears Holdings Corporation公司允許協(xié)作工廠依照一定的時(shí)間進(jìn)度進(jìn)行必要的整改，以達(dá)到可接受的狀況。

Q:  Will Sears Holdings Corporation disclose the true working hours and wages to other retailers?

A:  No,all information relating to this program will remain confidential. Sears Holdings Corporation wants WRIP participants to feel comfortable that the information provided to Sears Holdings Corporation will remain confidential.

A: The WRIP Improvement Plan is the detailed document that lists out key factory data on such issues as average working hours, maximum working hours, minimum pay for regular and overtime hours provided per worker, and the percentage breakdown for all workers by wage rate. To participate in the WRIP Program, factories must provide such detailed information to Sears Holdings Corporation for review based both on actual and Projected/planned information over a one-year time period（the data provided must begin with the recent 2 months prior to the last audit by Sears Holdings Corporation, or begin with the recent 6 months if your factory has not been audited by Sears Holdings Corporation). Sears Holdings Corporation will provide WRIP participants with a formatted excel spreadsheet (Appendix A) with instructions on how to complete the WRIP Improvement Plan.

問：什么是WRIP改善計(jì)劃？
