ACS News 9. Managerial and professional contributions should both be considered as essential to the success of the corporate effort. Individual chemists should be informed of economic data as it pertains to their effort and appropriate financial and business documents should be made available to them. 10. Meritorius performance should be rewarded by financial compensation. Increasing levels of skill and responsibility should be rewarded by professional advancement. 11. Consistent with patent procedures, trade secrets, and corporate objectives, the chemist should be given every opportunity to publish his work in recognized scientific journals and to present his findings at scientific meetings. 12. To provide for full utilization of his capabilities, the chemist should be permitted to consult with other professionals in his field, with the understanding that he will not reveal confidential company information in any such discussions. In the event of scientific controversy, it is recognized that the chemist will act as an individual and not as a representative of the company. 13. The chemist employee should be given an opportunity to participate in professional and scientific society affairs. Consistent with the performance of regular duties, he should be allowed sufficient time to carry out his responsibilities in such organizations. 14. Chemist employees should have freedom to participate in political and community activities. Such participation, however, should be undertaken solely as a responsibility of the individual without involving the employer. III. Termination conditions
1. The chemist who is to be terminated should be given sufficient advance notice, or reasonable compensation in lieu thereof should be provided. The term of notice usually should be related to length of service, although it is recognized that this period can be modified depending on the chemist's position in the organization. Suggested minimum advance notice guidelines are as follows: Length of service
Advance notice required
Up to 5 years 5-10 years 10 or more years
1 month 3 months 6 months
2. If the chemist is dismissed as a result of a project or program termination through no fault of his own, the above advance notice schedule should be observed, or reasonable compensation in lieu thereof should be provided. Every effort should be made to place such an employee in another position within the organization. Alternatively, the dislocated chemist should be given assistance in finding employment elsewhere. 3. Any chemist terminated with a minimum of 10 years' consecutive service should have fully vested pension rights, desirably with survivor benefits. 4. Any chemist having a minimum of 15 years of consecutive service should not be terminated except for cause. If cause is claimed, the chemist's case should be reviewed by two levels of management above his immediate supervisor. Management should also consider the opinion of the man's performance by his scientific peers. 80 C&EN MAY 10, 1971
