Failure  to  comply  with  the  provisions  of  the regulatory material in chapter 5 of the  SORN is punishable in accordance with the  Uniform  Code of Military Justice ( UCMJ).  Regulatory  articles are printed on large posters, which are posted in conspicuous locations aboard naval units. When  the  article  itself  is  self-explanatory, the  article  is  presented  in  block  quotation exactly  as  stated  in  the  SORN;  no  further explanation is given.   Articles that are lengthy and, in some cases, difficult to interpret are paraphrased  to  give  you  a  brief  overview  of  the contents  of  the  article. UNIT  ADMINISTRATION Chapter 1 covers the administration of a unit and the limits of authority of personnel in  management  positions.  It  also  discusses organizational  theory  and  defines  terms  such  as unity   of   command,   span   of   control,   and leadership. 100.1 Relationship to Other Guidance The SORN issues regulations and standard organizational  requirements  applicable  to  the administration of naval units. Type commanders or  higher  authority  issues  additional  requirements to  supplement  the  Navywide  guidance  provided by the SORN. Guidance is intended to assist commanding  officers  in  administering  their  unit in  the  best  possible  manner. 142.2  Policy  Guidance The guidance provided by the  SORN helps  the Navy  set  policies  consistently.  A  complete  policy statement concerning the following items is beyond the scope of this text. You should consult the SORN for  specific  details.  The  following  is a brief look at Navy policies covered by the SORN; consult the SORN for specific details about each policy: EXTRA MILITARY INSTRUCTION (EMI)  — This  is  instruction  intended  to  correct  a  deficiency of a person in a phase of military duty. General guidelines  are  as  follows: · EMI will not normally be assigned for more than 2 hours per day. EMI  maybe  assigned  at  a  reasonable  time outside  of  normal  working  hours. EMI will not be conducted over a period that is longer than necessary to correct the performance    deficiency. EMI  should  not  be  conducted  on  a members  sabbath. EMI  will  not  be  used  as  a  method  of depriving  normal  liberty.  Normal  liberty may  commence  upon  completion  of  EMI. The authority to assign EMI rests with the commanding officer. Normally, you may assign EMI during working hours if the commanding officer delegates the authority. However, the commanding  officer  usually  chooses  not  to delegate  the  authority  to  assign  EMI  after working hours;   that  limits  your  actions  to recommending  EMI.  Refer  to  the  SORN  and  your command  regulations  regarding  assignment  of EMI. WITHHOLDING  OF  PRIVILEGES  —Tem- porary withholding of privileges is authorized as an administrative measure to correct minor infractions  of  military  regulations  or  performance deficiencies  when  punitive  action  is  deemed  in- appropriate.  Privileges  that  may  be  temporarily withheld include special liberty, exchange of duty,  special  pay,  special  command  programs, bases or ship libraries and movies, command parking,  and  special  services  events. PRIVILEGES  CAN  ONLY  BE  TEMPO- RARILY WITHHELD BY THE PERSON WITH THE  AUTHORITY  TO  GRANT  THE  PRIVI- LEGE —Your action should normally be limited to a recommendation to the chain of command to  temporarily  withhold  a  privilege.  For  further guidance,  consult  the  SORN and  local  regulations concerning  withholding  of  privileges. EXTENSION OF WORKING HOURS — Deprivation of normal liberty as punishment except as specifically authorized by the  UCMJ is illegal.  However,  lawful  deprivation  of  normal liberty  is  authorized  in  certain  situations  such  as pretrial  restraint  or  in  a  foreign  country  when  such action  is  deemed  necessary.  Working  hours  may be  extended  for  official  functions,  accomplish- ment  of  essential  work,  or  the  achievement  of  the currently  required  level  of  operational  readiness. 2-14
