Honorable Vice President
I have noticed during my work in the presidency of the community that we encounter unjustified difficulties in providing the
venerable Lay Council with the required information regarding personnel affairs due to the absence of a comprehensive special register
showing details of appointments, promotions, leaves of both types (sick and regular), allocations, and bonuses
relating to all employees directly linked to the Council, who number about one hundred. On one hand, and on
the other hand, as a preliminary step to preparing a special system for appointments and promotions based on the proposal of the respected member Mr.
Heskel Shehet mentioned in the last session, I suggest that the accountant be tasked with organizing such a register along with organizing
a file for each employee containing a special form in which the aforementioned information is recorded along with the correspondence related
to each employee.
Furthermore, the accountant has actually started, based on my suggestion, to organize the mentioned register, and I am serious about preparing
the draft of the referred form for personnel affairs (serving as a service record). However, I have seen it best
that the accountant be tasked with drafting it to carry out this work starting from the first of January 1949 to be ready
for auditing at the end of the fiscal year when auditing the Council's accounts. Therefore, I submit herewith an administrative order for your kind
signature if you find it appropriate.
Please accept my respect;
