This co-operation is no less necessary to assist in organizing the employment market during the present critical period. Some manpower controls still remain, These are still law. They are aimed at assisting in organizing the employment market. Remaining controls are designed to help employers and workers—and actually require only minor assistance from the public. YOU ARE URGED TO COMPLY WITH THE FOUR CONTROLS WHICH REMAIN 1—Employers MUST notify the National Employ- ment Office of any need for workers, as soon as that need is known. 2- Where employers engage workers outside the National Employment Service they MUST notify the nearest NES Office within three days, that an employee has been engaged. (Form NSS 312 is provided for this purpose.) 3—Unemployed workers seeking employment MUST register with the National Employment Office if unemployed for seven consecutive days. 4 --Generally speaking, any employer or em- ployee MUST give seven days' notice to the other party of any intention to terminate employment, (Form NSS 120 is still required.) Exceptions may be learned from the nearest NES Office. The partners to industry—employers and.. employees—should help the National Employ- ment Service to promote a high level of employ- ment by complying with these simple rules. Only with public support' can an employ- ment service give full assistance to the com- m unity. Make full use of the Local Office of the National Employment Service. It is there to serve your needs, and those of the entire Community. N.E,S. 4 NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT SERVICE: Dominion Labour Department HUMPHREY MITCHELL A. MACNAMARA Minister of Labour Deputy Minister
