Are the Better Work and SLCP service timelines aligned?
Better Work will continue to follow its existing service timelines for factories already enrolled in the programme.
To be able to support factories in the self-assessment through advisory services it is necessary that factories register in the SLCP Gateway at the start of the BW cycle (2-3 months prior to the assessment). Factories must submit their self-assessment to the SLCP Gateway prior to the assessment. SLCP will not be able to accept BW assessment data if there is not self-assessment submitted by a factory. This is due to an SLCP business rule because Better Work does not require self-assessments in its service model.
