SECTION 6.
GENERAL
MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF STAFF
Twenty-eight persons were medically examined to determine their fitness
for acceptance on the permanent staff. Twenty-six were found to
be fit.
One of the conditions of the new scheme for sickness pay for all
employees who come within the scope of the National and Provincial
Councils for Non-Trading Services (Manual Workers), which came into
operation on the 5th July 1948, is that all new employees be required to
submit to a medical examination before the completion of six months
service with the Council in order to determine their fitness for admission
to the scheme. One hundred and thirteen persons were examined, one
hundred and eleven of whom were accepted for the scheme.
