37TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE, Toulouse, France, 30 March – 3 April 1998WP No. 166Information Handbook |
Introduction
In 1973, the Belgian Guild, as part of SC4, undertook the compilation of the Information Handbook. A first edition was accepted by the 1974 Tel Aviv Conference.
Discussion
At page 4512 of the IFATCA Manual, para 1.3.1. describes the contents of the Information Handbook as follows:
Chapter 1: General Information
Chapter 2: Working Conditions
Chapter 3: Remuneration
Chapter 4: Retirement
Chapter 5: Social Security
Chapter 6: Recruitment and Training
Chapter 7: Promotion
Chapter 8: Medical Aspects
Chapter 9: Methods of Determining Conditions of Operation and Service
Chapter 10: Legal Aspects
Chapter 11: Technical Aspects
Since the new Questionnaire, the information has been reorganised with additional information. A new division into chapters has been arranged as follows:
Chapter 1: General Information
1.1: Information on the Association
1.2: Affiliation with Trade Unions
1.3: Your Employer
Chapter 2: Working Conditions
2.1: Work and Rest Scheme
2.2: Overtime
2.3: Vacation Scheme
Chapter 3: Career
3.1: Recruitment
3.2: Training
3.3: Remuneration
3.4: Allowances
3.5: Promotion
3.6: Retirement
Chapter 4: Social Security
4.1: Licenses
4.2: Sick Leave
4.3: Pregnancy
4.4: Parental Leave
Chapter 5: Medical Aspects
Chapter 6: Conditions of Employment
Chapter 7: Legal Aspects
Chapter 8: Technical Aspects
Questions rose whether the Contents Page of the Information Handbook should be published in the Manual. Whenever a revision on the contents is considered to be necessary, an amendment to the Manual becomes necessary as well.
SC4 is convinced that publishing the contents of the Information Handbook in the Manual is a good idea. Corporate Members have an IFATCA Manual but are not in the possession of an Information Handbook. At least they have an idea what the Information Handbook is standing for.
Conclusion
Para 1.3.1. at page 4512 of the IFATCA Manual should be amended to reflect the contents of the new layout of the Information Handbook.
Recommendation
Para 1.3.1. at page 4512 of the IFATCA Manual be amended as follows: 1.3.1. The Information Handbook contains the following chapters:
Chapter 1: General Information – containing:
