STALE DATE REPORTS
When reporting a stale date to the Director of Comms, bear in mind that
a
weekend during which a staff member is not on post does not count as two
working
days in the routing of a despatch. A despatch dated Friday, October 7th and
relayed
by the next terminal on Monday, October 10th is not stale dated right there
if the
terminal was not on post on the 8th or 9th, and did not receive it till the
10th.
In order to pinpoint the exact source of any delay in handling and/or
forwarding
a despatch, all points through which it passes must not only initial and
okay it, but
date it as well. A series of initials tells the Director of I & R nothing
as to which of
them might be responsible for any delay and necessitates body traffic.
Where action required on a despatch will take such time as to make it
impracticable for the originator to receive back his order or request
within six days of
the date of origin, the person carrying out the order or request must
briefly
acknowledge receipt of the despatch to avoid a stale date report on
himself.
Such examples are where a Purchase Order is sent to Financial Planning
by
Purchasing Officer and where Printing Liaison Officer must obtain and get
accepted
quotes for the printing of materials.
The acknowledgement can be sent direct to the originator and should
preferably
put in the R factor as to what is being done.
Apparently losing sight of a comm cycle can be upsetting to a staff
member. Keep
him posted.
