| 123.1 | Official or unofficial policy? | WOTVAX::LAWSON | Edward LAWSON @OLO | Wed Sep 19 1990 14:08 | 22 |

I know that Digital's official policy is quoted in "Digital and
you" and is very generous, but I get the distinct impression that
you have to be lucky with your manager. I only ever take two weeks
for annual training (10 working days) but sometimes I feel that
this is frowned upon and is certainly not a good career move.
Anyone else in the same boat?
Ed, (RNR)
By the way, can I get authorisation to access this conference from
Leeds as I have transferred offices for the foreseeable future and
currently have to go through my Warrington account? My Leeds
account is on ERIC and the mail address is LZO.

| I've never had any flack in the eleven years I've been here from
any manager over reserve time off. They have all supported whatever
it was needed doing. They never kept any obvious track of it, and I
never gave them any reason to think I might be taking advantage of it.
Maybe I was just lucky, but I don't think so. I think most people
understand the need to be a bit flexible and support the concept
whenever they can, which is most times.

| I've asked a lot of people in numerous departments about the attitude
of UK DEC to reservists who are called up. The only official response
I could get was that it rests on your local HRD Managers' desk;
otherwise it's the standard policy as notified on VTX.

| The following message is from Peter Woodhouse. The questions to which
he refers are:
1. Can I put your note (this was actually issued last week but I'll put
it in as the next reply ) in this conference?
2. Will reservists have to hand over to Digital any bonus payments
received ( for volunteering a few weeks back )?
3. What is the policy towards non-military medical personnel providing
assistance?

Subject: RE: Gulf Crisis
Dave,
Sorry to be slow in getting back to you. Answers are as follows:
1. I do not have a problem with you putting my letter into VAX notes.
2. The company will not deduct the 200 pounds.
3. I have just put a note out to Personnel Managers regarding medical
volunteers. It says by arrangement with local managers Digital will
support and pay up to 1 day per week, or five days per month. This
will be reviewed at the end of March 1991.
Hope this helps,
Peter

| The original note from Peter Woodhouse:
This is the policy for those individuals who are either called up or
volunteer to join the armed forces as a result of the Middle East
crisis.
* All individuals undertaking military service as part of the
reserve forces will continue to be paid at current adjusted
base salary less total remuneration from HM Government.
* Individuals will continue to be members of the Digital Pension
Plan and will be covered for life assurance and medical benefits.
* These provisions will remain in force for a period of three months
begining 1st January 1991. Should the current crisis continue
beyond the end of March 1991, Digital reserves the right to revue
its position and change the above provisions based on the scale of
activities and Digital employee involvement at the time.
Details of all individuals taking up military service must be
forwarded immediately to the Compensation and Benefits Group in
Dec-Park.
Regards,
Peter
