Cadets learning to operate the telegraph instrument are to be treated with every consideration in so doing, as the best and shortest means of enabling them to become proficient. Anything like hustling or worrying them, through impatience at their slowness, is to be stopped by supervising officers. Officers at corresponding stations must not be too ready with complaints of incompetence or slowness, when it is known, or should be known, that these disadvantages spring from training cadets in their work. This disposition makes it all the more necessary on the part of supervising officers to take care that the young officers whose interests are thus safeguarded do not attempt to abuse the consideration and kindness shown them.
-
Officers are at the immediate disposal of the Department for transfer to such part of the colony as the exigencies of the service may demand. The circumstances of individual officers will receive due consideration; but, while attention will be given to objections of a personal or private nature in view of a proposed transfer, it is to be understood that private considerations must give place to the interests of the service. The Minister, when officers decline promotion, may be constrained to impose the penalty prescribed in Classification Regulation 29A, of the 20th August, 1900. The regulation is reprinted as follows:—
29A. “The Minister, on the production of satisfactory reasons, may allow any officer to decline offered promotion or appointment; but such officer shall forfeit his right to future promotion: Provided that the Minister after the lapse of two years may allow such officer to be considered again for promotion: Provided also that no officer shall be allowed to refuse compliance with any order of the Minister directing his removal from one position to another.”
-
When officers are instructed to prepare for transfer from one place to another an estimate of the cost of removal must be furnished to and approved by the Secretary or Superintendent before action is taken to incur any expense. In every case, as much care is to be taken to keep down the cost as if the officer were removing entirely at his own expense. There is no authority for claims, particularly by unmarried officers, for hotel expenses at destination before obtaining permanent lodgings.
-
Officers transferred from one office to another at their own request will be required to pay their own expenses.
-
All permanent officers of the Department whose salaries are less than £100 per annum, and all who have not been twelve months in the service, are required to give security to
