EMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT
17. A department, or rather a sub-department, not shown on the chart but found in some establishments, is the employment department. This department is very properly in immediate charge of the superintendent, and, in the average manufacturing plant, he will hire all men. In a plant employing a great number of men, it is impossible for the superintendent to personally take charge of this work, and an employment agent is placed in charge.
The employment agent keeps records of all employes and applicants and hires all men needed by the different foremen.
