As a result of the analyses made by the employment supervisor and his staff, applicants are recommended to foremen who have made requisitions for the filling of vacancies.  Bear in mind, it is not the function of the employment department arbitrarily to employ.  When a desirable applicant has been found, he is sent, with a recommendation, to the head of the department which has made requisition for an employee.  Then the foreman or superintendent or the manager either rejects or accepts the applicant.  In case of rejection, the executive returns the applicant to the employment department, stating his reason for his action.

When an applicant is accepted, the employment department notifies the paymaster, also places a folder for a new employee in the file.  It is often highly desirable, also, before sending an employee to a foreman to inform him fully and in detail as to the work he is expected to do, the conditions under which he will be expected to work, the rate of pay he will receive, the opportunities for advancement, and all other information which may decide the applicant for or against accepting the position if it is offered to him.

REPORTS AND RECORDS

6.  The employment department organizes methods for receiving regular and complete reports upon the performance and deportment of every employee in the organization.  These reports include punctuality, attendance, efficiency, special ability, deportment, home environment, and habits, companions, and other necessary and valuable information.  Every employer who has the good of his employees and their advancement at heart ought to know these things.  Reports are received from foremen and superintendents, also from others who are especially assigned by the employment supervisor to secure the information.

RECOMMENDATION FOR TRANSFER, PROMOTION AND INCREASE

7.  As a result of these reports and of its own analysis, the employment department recommends for transfer from one department to another, or for promotion, or for increase of pay, such employees as merit these changes in their positions and relationship with the company.  In cases where necessity seems to demand it, the employment department may also recommend the discharge of an employee.

CONSULTATION ON RATES OF PAY

8.  In co-operation with properly constituted authorities, and as the result of careful, scientific study of the whole situation, the employment department assists in establishing rates of pay commensurate with the work done, with the conditions in the industry, and with their probable effect upon the loyalty, happiness, and consequent efficiency of the employees.
