-
Any person who complains of the delay or missending of any article should be requested to address the Chief Postmaster, and to submit the cover of the article.
-
Complaints about telegrams, after being acknowledged, should be sent to the Accountant for investigation. (Rule 189.)
FINES.
-
All fines are to be accounted for monthly to the Accountant.
-
In every case in which a fine is inflicted, the particulars must be entered on form headed “Voucher for Collection of Fine Account.” This form, by means of carbon paper, is to be written in duplicate, and the duplicate must be immediately forwarded to the Accountant. When the fine is collected the amount must be affixed in stamps to the voucher form, and the stamps cancelled by the Chief Postmaster or the Officer in Charge writing his name across them. The original voucher must be sent to the Accountant with the monthly fine return.
-
Fines inflicted on mail contractors must, under clause 115 of “The Post Office Act, 1900,” be paid into the Post Office Account.
-
When late attendance exceeds one hour, and is not satisfactorily accounted for, in addition to the infliction of the fine the case must be reported to the Secretary.
-
Punctuality must be strictly insisted upon by responsible officers, and fines inflicted for every period of late attendance of five minutes, or ten minutes, as the case may be (item 6 and 7 of Appendix A). Up to the limits of the time mentioned, late attendance may be met by a caution once, or perhaps twice.
-
The fines to be enforced for errors and irregularities or breaches of duty or discipline are set forth in Appendix A. The imposition of a fine will not necessarily prevent the infliction of further punishment.
