P.I.E.

## Overview

P.I.E. or Phenomenonal International Escorts, functions as a Labor Union for those involved in work with supernatural or occult phenomena.

P.I.E. undertakes the training and certification of those operating in these fields and lends legitimacy to their work by providing a strong international network of resources and connections. They also ensure that their members are treated with professional courtesy, compensated at a fair rate for their assignments, and are of an upright moral character.

P.I.E. itself does not employ hunters, but it does provide as steady stream of assignments from trusted clients that hunters may choose from. Work from outside sources is unrestricted (with the exception of certain blacklisted employers), but must be reported.

## Guidelines

* **Blacklisted Clients** are given this status due to serious human rights violations, Accepting these jobs will lead to expulsion from P.I.E. The Blacklist Update is sent daily.
* **Independent Work** must be reported within two weeks of job completion, and the appropriate percentage paid to cover Union Dues. Union Dues are paid by the client in the case of P.I.E. listed assignments.
* **Excessive Casualties** will prompt an internal audit of any individual or squad, including any sponsoring Master Hunter. Outside arbitration may be requested under certain conditions. Arbitration is provided by American Auditing Services.
* **Unauthorized Consumption** will result in an automatic six month suspension, regardless or extenuating circumstances.
