How to Ask Deferment Key Employees

Employers are losing to the draft key men who should have been deferred. Selective Service headquarters is becoming concern ed & is asking employers to as sume their full responsibility un- der the law for obtaining defer ment for necessary employees. Here are'answers furnished by Scl ectiVe Service to employers ques tionS on how to seek deferment of kGS men)
 Should employers take the in itiatiVe in asking deferment for key employees?
 Yes, companies engaged in war production or essential civilian work, particularly those employ ing large numbers of men, hold a definite responsibility in carry ing out the intent of the law, namely, to defer from military service those men in critical oc- equations in essential industries so that their experience and train ing may be best utilized to the country's benefit.
 Won't companies that seek draft deferment for their em- ployes be risking public criti- cism?
 Not half the criticism they will be risking if they permit their op eratons to me impaired because of failure to fulfill thcir duties under the draft law.
 Specifically, what is expected Of an employer?
 The management of every com pany should know the draft status of its entire staff. Any em- ployer who hasn't this informa- ton should make a survey of his male employees immediately.
 How should this survey be conducted?
 The employer needs to know first of all, the birth date of ev- cry male employee. Then em- ployes should be brouped in 3 categorles: CD those born be tween Feb. 16, 1897, and June 30, 1922, and who are liable to be drafted; (2) those born before Feb. IS, 1897, who were 45 or older at the time of their reg istration and who will not be dafted; (3) those born after June 30, 1922, who were under 20 at the time they registered and who will be subject to service when they reach the age of 20.
 When those Subect to draft are identified, then what?
The Nome nugget., 1942-09-21

Should a company wait until a local board begins reclassifying an employe before filing its re quest for deferment of that man?
 No When you company has decided upon the employees for whom it Wll ask deferment, the laeal boards of each of the em- Dlvcs can be notified and told that at the proper time the com pany expects 10 file up-to-date information as to the essential nature If the employees service.
 What about employees for whom a company decides not to ask deferment?
 Steps should be taken to start training replacements immed- lately Those replacements should be picked carefully. Pre- ferably they should be married men with children or men over 45 years of age. Selective Service also requests that, wherevr pos sible, women be employed to fill jobs previously held by men.
 Has Selectiye Service head quarters any manual for em- ployeS on procedure for request ing deferment?
 No such manual is available at headquarters. However, the pro- cedure outlined here has been suggested officially by Selective Service officers.
The Nome nugget., 1942-09-21

l From thls group separate tnu>r who az absolutely essential to the effective and continuous op- eration Of the business, either because of a shortage of skilled men in their occupations or to the long period of training neces sary to achieve their skill, train ing and efficiency. These men are he ones whose defermnt may be desirable
 What's the first step to get de ferment?
 Get information as to the draft satus of all employees whose de ferment will be asked.
 Who has this information?
 The employees involved. A brief quesionaire asking local board number, present classification and dependency status can be used. Not only will this informa ton enable the company to deter mine the basis of its request for occupational deferment, but also it may enable it to obtain the CO., operation of the emplyes in keep Ing the company posted on their status with their draft boards.
 Is the local draft board fam liar with the type of work done ny every company that employ men living within the board $ jurisdiction?
 Don't depend upon it. Instead outline in some detail the activ- ties of your company with res pect to war production or sup port of the war effort and send this information to the local board of employees under then jurisdiction. This will serve as a general background in addition 10 specific data to be filed on behalf of each individual as the case arises.
 What should be done in the ease of employee who already have received questiOnnairs from local boards?
 Begin immediately to prepare the affidavit to support a claim for occupational d f erm (Form 42A). With this form file such affidavits regarding the en. ploye's training and experience the essential nature of the work he is doing, and the importance of his production to the war ef- fort-as may be helpful to the local board in determining whe- ther or not he will be more Nse- ful at home or in the Army.
