Employee System Terms

These terms are for the people Brands' Lab gives a card to. They cover the card, the code, the session and the work you enter on the floor screen. What the system records about you is in the Employee Privacy Notice; this page is about how you use it.

1. The card

The card is the company's property and it stays yours to hold while you work here. It carries your employee number in the form BL-0001, and it is not an identity document. The owner issues it, suspends it, activates it again and issues a new code for it; nobody else can.

2. The code

The 6-digit code that goes with the card is yours alone. The company does not keep it: the system stores a one-way value and can only check a code against it, which is why a forgotten code is replaced, never looked up. Do not write it on the card, do not tell it to anyone, and do not lend the card to anyone — every line entered with your card is recorded as yours.

3. Losing the card

Tell the owner the same day. He suspends it: a suspended card cannot sign in and every open session on it ends at once. If a stranger finds it, the page printed for the card lets them say where, and what they leave reaches the owner's mailbox only.

4. Signing in

You sign in with the card number and the code, on the factory's sign-in page, which is protected by an anti-abuse check. Five wrong codes on one card within fifteen minutes lock the card, and a further lock in the same week doubles the wait, up to a day; the owner is told and can lift it. Ten wrong codes on one card from one network block that pair the same way. A locked card is not a broken card — wait, or ask the owner.

5. Your device and your session

Sign in only on a device you control, and sign out when you are done. Your session is bound to the browser you opened it on: the same session presented from another browser is refused and ended. Signing in from a new browser is allowed and is recorded. A session lasts at most 30 days and ends after 7 days without use; it also ends the moment the card is suspended, given a new code, or the employment ends. When a session ends, the screen says why.

6. What you do on the system

Enter the day's work as it happened: for each person, the order, the step, the machine, how many pieces and — when they are counted — how many minutes; and mark who is present, who is away and who is in the factory but off the line. That is all the screen is for. Marking someone away never removes their lines.

7. Corrections

Nothing is edited in place and nothing is deleted. A wrong line is replaced by a correction, and the old line stays in the history under the new one. A supervisor may correct a line from the last 7 days; an older line goes to the owner. The correction carries the same weight as the line it replaces: it must be what actually happened.

8. Closing the day

When you close the day, no further line can be entered for it until the owner reopens it, and the day's summary — the people, the pieces, the steps and the open orders — goes to the owner. Close the day when the work is finished, not before.

9. Everything is attributed

Every line you enter carries your card number and the time, in a chained record that cannot be edited or deleted. Entering work that did not happen, entering it under the wrong person, or signing in with somebody else's card is a workplace matter, handled under the factory's own rules and the labour law. Nothing on this page creates a penalty the law does not allow.

10. What the owner sees

The owner sees the day's lines, the attendance and the progress of every order as they are entered, and receives the day's summary when you close it. This is said here and in the Employee Privacy Notice; nothing about it is hidden from you.

11. If something is wrong

If a number on the screen is wrong, correct it as in section 7, or tell the owner. If you find a weakness in the system itself, write to security@brandslabeg.com and describe what you found. Do not test it on other people's data.

12. Changes

Each version of these terms carries a date and a version number. A new version replaces the old one as a new document; we never edit a published version in place.
