The following Policy Ltrs are modified:

HCO Pol Ltr of 10 July 1969 "Org Personnel Recruitment" in which org personnel applicants are required to take an HDG course, etc.

HCO Pol Ltr of 2 September 1969 Issue III (Addition to HCO Pol Ltr of 10 July 69) "Org Personnel Recruitment – Sea Org Cooperation".

HCO Pol Ltr of 14 July 1969 "New Personnel and Expansion" in which orgs are advised not to have more than 5 Auditors which is poor advice.

These policy letters are relegated to ADVICES and are NOT mandatory for recruitment of staff members.

In practice the idea of training staff members on the basis of a contract only has not generally worked out as it was used by many just to obtain a free course.

ANYONE PROVIDED WITH A FREE COURSE BEFORE OR WHILE A STAFF MEMBER MUST SIGN AN UNDATED NOTE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE COURSE.

This also applies to courses given a staff member by a higher org.

The note must include any expenses or advances.

The original of the note is to be forwarded to the Guardian's Office WW D/G Personnel.

There have been many ways people have come on staff. All these are valid. Training them first should be regarded as only one of these ways.

[Note: This policy is amended by HCO P/L 29 June 1971, Issue IV, Org Personnel Recruitment Requirements Eased, and HCO P/L 21 July 1972, Issue IV, Staff Qualification Requirements for Hiring Cancelled, in the Year Books.]
