Staff posts are not to be filled conditionally or temporarily. This applies in particular to Department Head posts, Instructors and Staff Auditors. If a person is going to leave soon, he is to be put on a post that is easily vacated or none at all.

Temporary ideas of being with HASI rank with bad auditing in making a person ineligible for appointment to any post. It takes time and money to train a person up to a post. The whole organization becomes enturbulated when posts are rapidly changed.

Henceforth, continuance on post, like ability to do its duties, rank in primary importance in HASI employment. Discipline where it is necessary should be done by changing pay units, not firing. Appoint permanently or leave the post unfilled.
