An internal view of the staff section of the Invoicing Office which was kept discrete from other activities

An internal view of the staff section of the Invoicing Office which was kept discrete from other activities. The sensitivity of the information and records collected and stored in the staff section required the office to be an 'office within an office'. The staff office housed a clerk head of section or department, an assistant, a clerk for compiling clerical pay and another to prepare wages grade pay (hourly paid staff) all supported by approximately six male and six female clerks assisting. During the war years an incentive was offered if the accounts staff had managed to balance the books by the 9th of the following month they were awarded an extra half-day holiday.
