Any staff member may leave the staff at any time.

If a staff member does leave a TECHNICAL POST WITHOUT GOOD AND SUFFICIENT REASON in the first year of his employment, he is charged 250 guineas for his training, providing he has not been dismissed.

The Association Secretary has the right to dismiss people by reason of the APA and IQ standards as per HCO Policy Letter of May 1, 1958.

The reason for this directive is the fact that the organization in Washington and London has been occasionally victimized by persons giving their services to the organization for the sole purpose of acquiring training. The expense of this training is such as to make these services useful only after a few months have been spent on staff. Washington and London have absorbed this expense on occasion only to have such a person quit and avail himself of his staff background to acquire preclears in the field. Training is acquired in courses and it is only right that a course fee be charged where this trick is pulled.
