Such offenses are subject to direct punishment by order and for a staff
member the punishment is the assignment of a personal condition of
emergency for up to threeweeks and for an executive staff member the
assignment of up to a three months personal condition of emergency.
Personal conditions of emergency reduce pay or units one third for the
period assigned.
Recourse may be had by requesting a Committee of Evidence for return of
pay but not damages.
The same offenses may be used for a Committee of Evidence but not both a
Committee and punishment by direct order-one or the other.
However if any of these offenses become the subject of a Committee of
Evidence the penalty for a misdemeanor may be increased to include
suspension of a single certificate and/or classification (but no more) or a
minor demotion or transfer, but not dismissal. None of these offenses may
be made the subject of dismissal by direct order or Committee of Evidence.
Persons may not be dismissed for misdemeanors. Nor may any certificates,
classifications or awards be cancelled.
Non staff or field or franchise Scientologists committing those of the
above (except org) offenses applicable may have a Committee of Evidence
convened on them.
Where serious, repeated or of magnitude harmful to many, the same
offenses can be re-classed as Crimes by a Convening Authority.
