HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex
HCO POLICY LETTER OF 7 JANUARY 1966
Remimeo
Staff Hat
URGENT
LEAVING POST
WRITING YOUR HAT
(A copy of this should be clipped to every transfer
order issued in an org but failure to do so does not
relieve the transferee of responsibility.)
On changing post, it is vital for the staff member (executive or
general) to write
up his or her hat for the post being vacated.
A copy is furnished the HCO Exec Sec WW.
A person is still considered to also be on any post he is vacating
until:
(a) A new person is provided for the post.
(b) He or she has written up a complete hat giving the duties, lines
and
peculiarities of the post.
(c) Turned the hat over to the new staff member and a copy to HCO
Exec Sec
WW.
(d) Turned over all the equipment and supplies of the post and
gotten a receipt
for them signed by the new person on the post.
(e) Sent a copy of the items in (d) to the Supply Officer.
(f) Settled the new person in the post so that it is operating.
If these are not done, an organization goes to pieces on expansion as it
loses its
lines and terminals and functions through promotions.
Staff members not doing the above may be called upon as responsible for
the
actions, failures and materiel of a post for up to 2 years after leaving it
and his or her
pay may be debited for any losses or damages in the post vacated without
complying
with the above even though the loss or damage was done by a successor.
Note that a person ordered to a new post is also responsible (regardless
of any
other action by another to fill it) for seeing that the post is competently
filled before
he is legally off it. This is of long standing custom.
None of this exempts Personnel or executives from filling posts, writing
hats or
accounting for materiel or supplies. But the staff member leaving a post
has the
greatest responsibility.
