NOTICE TO EMPLOYERS
AND THEIR MALE EMPLOYEES
By an order signed on August 15th, 1944, by the under-
signed Minister of Labour under authority of National
Selective Service Mobilization Regulations:
1. Commencing August 22nd, 1944,
every employer is required to check the
documents held by each newly engaged
male employee, within 7 days of the
employee's engagement, to determine if
such employee possess documents to
show that he is in good standing under
National Selective Service Mobilization
Regulations (that is, in relation to the
Military Call-up);
2. Every employer must report on
Schedule 9 to the Registrar for his
Mobilization Division, concerning any
employee found not to possess doeu-
ments as refererd to;
3. Every employer is required simi-
larly to check the documents held by
each male employee newly engaged
between May lst, 1944, and August
22nd, 1944, and to report to the Regis-
trar for his Mobilization Division by
August 29th, 1944, on any such em-
ployee found not to possess documents
as referred to;
4. Any male employee here referred
to, is required by the Regulations to
present his documents to his employer
for purposes of inspection;
5. Penalties are provided for any em-
ployer or male employee who fails to
comply with these Regulations.
By an earlier order, employers were required to check the
documents held by their male employees, and to report by May
list, 1944, on doubtful eases as well as cases where employees
z, did not possess documents. The procedure for the present con-
tinuing Check, although being notified to employers in "Notice
to Employers and their Male Employees", whichla now being
mailed, is Identical with that set forth in "Employers' Guide",
which covered the check made before May la, 1944.
•••••/... ••••••••••P
Employers are coshed to remember that they do not report on
men Who do possess the necessary documente—orsly on those
who fa0 to present documents for examination, or where there
is doubt that the document presented actually proves good
standing.
The employers oi Canada co-operated very satisfactorily on the
first check, made up to May in last. TMa co-operation wad
decidedly helpful, and is very much appreciated. Further COM
operation is now earnestly requested.
Sclsedule 9 and details as to docunsents which prosood
standing, are available through the Employment and Selective
Service Offices.
