artment recommends for transfer from one department to another, or for
promotion, or for increase of pay, such employees as merit these changes
in their positions and relationship with the company. In cases where
necessity seems to demand it, the employment department may also recommend
the discharge of an employee.

CONSULTATION ON RATES OF PAY

8. In co-operation with properly constituted authorities, and as the
result of careful, scientific study of the whole situation, the employment
department assists in establishing rates of pay commensurate with the work
done, with the conditions in the industry, and with their probable effect
upon the loyalty, happiness, and consequent efficiency of the employees.

SPECIAL INFORMATION TO MANAGEMENT

9. Upon request of the general manager or any other executive in the
organization, the employment supervisor may furnish complete information
as to any employee in the organization when that information is
legitimately required. Oftentimes, also, there will be a call made upon
the employment department for some one with special ability to undertake a
certain task. It may be that the employment department has had under its
observation for months or even years some man already in the employ of the
company who will exactly fill the new position or the vacancy just

employment department will find just the man it is looking for. In case
neither of these things happen, then the right man may be found listed and
described in the reserve file.

TRANSFER AND DISCHARGE

10. When a foreman or other executive can no longer use any man in his
employ, he does not discharge him, but sends him instead to the employment
department with a report and recommendation. Oftentimes the employment
supervisor or his assistant can adjust the matter and return the man to
his position, better fitted than ever to perform his task. It may be that
the executive and not the employee is at fault. On the other hand, it is
often the case that the employment department can take the man so returned
and place him in another department, where he will be happy and efficient.
It may be that the work that he has been doing is suited to him, but that
his executive is not the right kind of personality for him. Whatever the
employment department finds in regard to the man, action is taken in
accordance therewith. In case there is real cause for it, the employ
