COLLECTION fOLICY EXPLAINED
Numerous inquiries have been received
by the Disbursing Office with regard
to the collection policies recently
.established by the Alaskd P.urr.1 Re
habilitation Corocration, especially
in connection with deductions made on
the checks of those Colonists on the
payroll of the Alaska Rural Rehabili
tation Corporation.
Mr. Osseward announces that payroll"
deductions will continue to be nude,
where substantial voluntary payments
prior to pay days are not made by
either Colonist or non-Colonist employees
of the A.R.R.C.
The present basis of payroll deduction
will be one-quarter of each check or
more until all due obligations are
paid. Where‘one’s capacity to pay more,
is evidenced, a greater percentage of
collection may bo deducted.
This policy is a condition of employment
with the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation
Corporation and differs in no way from
its application to non-Colonists employed
by the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation
Corporation. The Disbursing Office feels
that regular installment payments should
be made, in proportion to on^s ability
to pay, and'when this is not done
voluntarily, it will be accomplished by
the Office. This Office also feels
that the opportunity of Colonists to
pay their obligations through employment
by the A.R.R.C. is a privilege. As
many positions as possible are being
classified as part-time employment, in
order that a system of employment
rotation nay be instituted, where by a
greater number of Colonists may bo
privileged to pay thoir obligations
through employment with the A.R.R.C.
Complaints from those employed oh this
basis arc unwarranted and.cannot be
considered as it is felt that over one
half of the Colonists ar^ not so
fortunate as those now able to pay off
debts by moans of employment with tho
