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.
