Going back to the original poster's position...... that he was somehow
informed that he was an "employee"....

.... is it your take that these "Auxiliarists filling CG positions on
a part-time basis" are employees?

Not in the least. Absent a response from Capt Lou, I presume he's referring
to some new documents in the CGAux world that contain a reference to
employee numbers, or employee application, or some such thing.

In the last year, there have been substantial upheavals in the procedures
the CG uses to ensure compliance with new security requirements on the part
of and concerning Auxiliary membership. Over the next few years they will
be implementing fingerprinting and background checks on members. Involved
with these new procedures are numerous forms (of course!) and in the
interest of efficiency, I suppose, the CG just lifted standard forms from
other agencies for their own purposes. One of the form, for example, is
remaining from the DOT, even though the CG has for a year now been under
DHS. Several of the forms that I've seen make reference to "employee
numbers", or to "...information contained in your employee application...",
etc. In fact, the CGAux membership information system on computer refers to
member number as "Empl ID". God knows why.

There are some few and intermittent times and circumstances when an
Auxiliarist may be treated by the CG in the same manner as a regular CG
member, but the bottom line is that, afaik, Auxiliary members are *not*
considered to be employees of the CG in any legal manner at all.
