For Directors of a department in ordering their own department: |WRITTEN
ORDER (Director)
(Signed by Director, approved by his divisional Secretary.) | |
|For ordering personnel in work |WRITTEN ORDER (Executive) |
|actions: |(Signed by the departmental |
| |Officer or In Charge, approved |
| |by the Department's Director.) |
|For ordering immediate juniors by |VERBAL ORDER |
|their immediate superiors or one's| |
|immediate clerical assistants or | |
|in a conference or in moments of | |
|urgency. Not valid otherwise and | |
|not binding as evidence in Ethics | |
|hearings or for reason for | |
|charging a noncompliance Ethics | |
|chit. Never accepted when relayed | |
|through a member of the public or | |
|off channels. | |
On all orders, orders from an HCO Exec Sec may not cross to Org
Divisions, orders from the Org Exec Sec may not cross to HCO Divisions
except in the Office of the Org Exec Sec Dept 19. Secretaries may not order
other divisions than their own. Directors may not order staff not in the
Director's departments. Officers may not order other sections than their
own. In Charges may not order other units than their own.
No order lower on the scale may cancel or set aside an order above it on
the scale. Any staff member accepting an illegal order who does not file a
job endangerment chit when he or she received it has no defence in any
resulting ethics hearing. In these organizations one must not permit
himself to be led astray by a senior with "private knowledge".
Anyone using policy to prevent statistics rising is liable to an Ethics
hearing or a Committee of Evidence. The response to a generalized statement
"That's against policy" is "What is the Policy Letter that covers it?" And
get it displayed.
It is possible to know where one stands only if one knows the seniority
of orders. The hardest position to be in is one where one's senior has
thrown the regulations away and is inventing his own-then none knows where
he stands.
Any written or published order may be cancelled by a published order
senior to it on the above chart except that, traditionally, Board Minutes
cannot cancel Policy Ltrs or HCO Bs, these being originated or modified by
the Executive Director whose powers only are ratified by the Board. HCO
Policy Letters and HCO Bs (Hubbard Communications Office Bulletins) are
considered technology and know-how and are outside Admin channels.
